Subject: Final Call for Chapters: DDL and younger learners

 
This is the final call for chapters for an edited book focusing on the use of
corpora for data-driven learning (DDL, Johns, 1991) with young (i.e.
pre-tertiary) learners. 

DDL, despite being a feature of corpora and language learning research for
some time, has really taken off as a viable methodological approach in the
last decade due to innovations in corpus query interfaces, data visualisation,
open access and improved internet access/speed. However, for a number of
reasons including access, resources and difficulties in convincing those
outside academia of the value of DDL, the majority of studies on DDL are
conducted with tertiary or adult learners, leaving DDL for younger learners
(those in pre-school, primary, or secondary education) as a relatively
underexplored area in the literature. 

With this in mind, chapter proposals are invited that explore the use of DDL
with younger learners. Studies dealing with DDL for first or second language
acquisition, genre and register learning/teaching and DDL for the
teaching/learning of subjects other than languages are particularly welcome.
The corpora involved in any of these studies can be spoken, written or
multimodal. Chapters may be empirical studies of corpus use and its effects on
learning, studies that explore the perceptions of corpus use by younger
learners/teachers of younger learners, or studies that make a novel
contribution to theory or methodology, such as new software or corpora that
deal specifically with younger learners, and new approaches in training
teachers / students of younger learners in DDL techniques. 

Final chapters will be approximately 6000-7500 words. Chapter proposals of
400-500 words are due March 31, 2018. The edited volume is to be published by
Routledge in 2019, part of the Taylor and Francis publishing group. 

Please feel free to signal your interest or discuss your ideas by contacting
the editor at p.cros at uq.edu.au.  Proposals are due by the end of March,
acceptance notification in April, with final submissions due December
2018/January 2019.

Many thanks,
Dr. Peter Crosthwaite, Ph.D.
Lecturer, School of Languages and Cultures,
University of Queensland.
