      "CORPUS LINGUISTICS FOR KOREAN LANGUAGE LEARNING & TEACHING"
			    SUMMER INSTITUTE

			 June 30-July 11, 2003
		 http://nflrc.hawaii.edu/prodev/CLKor/

Corpus linguistics studies take advantage of the existence of large
collections of language production (written or spoken language) in order
to investigate a language. Foreign language pedagogy is now beginning to
see new possibilities for recent advances in corpus linguistics to improve
language teaching and learning. Readily available Korean-language corpora
and easy-to-use tools can now be used on the spot in a language teaching
context, by teachers and learners without extensive training in
computational linguistics, and studies of linguistic features can be
tailored to specific pedagogic context and learning requirements.

The NFLRC Summer Institute workshop "Corpus Linguistics for Korean
Language Learning and Teaching" will acquaint participants with the basic
concepts of corpus linguistics, including corpus construction and
annotation, concordancing, frequency counts and ranks, grammatical
tagging, and related concepts. Participants will learn how to access
Korean corpora and how to use the available computer programs for Korean
corpus analysis. The workshop will outline techniques for the teacher to
use in materials preparation and curriculum design and for the individual
learner to use in exploring meaning, structure, and use in Korean. In the
second part of the workshop, participants will engage in individual
projects chosen with their own learning goals in mind.

        THE DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS IS FEBRUARY 1, 2003
