[Corpora-List] How to use MICASE online -- video demo now available!

[Ute Römer]

Dear all, 
 
I thought I should let you know that we have just put online a video and
PowerPoint slides (in pdf format) of an introductory demo of the new
web-interface to the Michigan Corpus of Academic Spoken English (MICASE).
The demo was given by Stefanie Wulff and myself as an in-house presentation
at the UM English Language Institute in December 2007. Stefanie and I
explain how MICASE online can be accessed (i.e. how the corpus can be
searched and browsed and how the search/browse results can be analysed and
saved) and give examples of how MICASE online output can be used in the
creation of teaching and testing materials. The video and slides of the
presentation we used are both linked from the MICASE index website at
http://lw.lsa.umich.edu/eli/micase/index.htm. The direct link to the video
is http://lw.lsa.umich.edu/eli/lecture/micase/video.html. The presentation
slides are available at http://lw.lsa.umich.edu/eli/micase/Demo.pdf (the
video takes a minute or two to load and appears only in a small window, but
the resolution and sound quality are quite good, and you can look at the
slides alongside if not everything is legible on the screen). 
 
Enjoy! 
 
Best wishes... Ute
