[Corpora-List] Corpora in EFL testing

[P. Kaszubski]

A most interesting question - would you post a summary? If you mean
some corpus-based CALL applications, I have not heard of too many
applications of corpora for langaueg testing in general except for
John Higgins' programs and the node-blanking functions of
concordancers (WordSmith, ConcApp). If this is of any interest, a
student of mine has been working on a TestBuilder project and is
almost ready to make the program accessible. Feel free to browse her
abstract & our joint powerpoint presentation from my corpus
linguistics seminar page. The name to click on is Wojnowska:
