[Corpora-List] New app from UCL

[Aarts, Bas]

Dear colleagues,

Please find below an announcement for a new corpus-based app aimed at helping your students with their essays and other writing assignments. We hope you will bring it to their attention. It is not a substitute for mentoring, but it is an additional source of advice, available 'on the go'. We would be grateful if you could encourage your students to use it.

Feedback on the app is very welcome.

Apologies for cross-posting.

Regards,

Bas
