[Corpora-List] Looking to gather a student translation corpus

[Lisa N. Michaud]

My apologies for the cross-posting; I posted this on CALICO and it was 
suggested that I reach out to this community as well.

I am working on adapting machine translation metrics for the purpose of 
evaluating student-written translations from source text (both in terms 
of generating an overall "score" for accuracy and identifying the 
nature/source of errors).  My current application is for students 
learning ancient languages, translating texts from the L2 into their L1, 
but I can imagine other applications as well.

What I need for the next step in this project is a large collection of 
translations written by students.  I know that translating text is 
something done more with ancient/dead languages than modern languages, 
and my local colleagues can't really help, but I was hoping someone in 
this community might do exercises with his or her students that might 
fit the bill.

Let me know if you are interested - and thanks in advance!

Lisa
