[Corpora-List] corpus of education discourse

[sara.gesuato at unipd.it]

Dear Chris (and list members),

I am sorry my question was not framed clearly. I meant that I would like
to know if there is a corpus of (preferably written) texts that deal with
ISSUES in education (e.g. teacher training, learning styles, curricula,
life-long learning) rather than a corpus of discourse produced IN
educational settings.

Thank you very much for your suggestions.

Best,

Sara Gesuato
