This workshop will present a new corpus of spoken L2 Spanish (Spanish Language 
learner Oral Corpus: SPLLOC), and review the potential contribution of learner 
corpora to SLA research. The corpus has been created through an ESRC funded 
project at the universities of Southampton, Newcastle and York. It consists of 
samples of learner speech in a variety of genres, from beginners to advanced. 
The conventions and software of the CHILDES project ( http://childes.psy.cmu.edu 
) have been used for transcription and part of speech tagging of the corpus. The 
programme includes presentations from members of the SPLLOC team about the 
corpus design and associated research programme, and a hands-on workshop 
demonstrating CHILDES programmes for data analysis.
