               *****Call for registration: TALC98********

The 3rd international conference on TEACHING AND LANGUAGE CORPORA will
be held at Keble College, Oxford between 24 and 27 July 1998.

The use of large computer-held corpora of real language, no longer
novel in linguistic research, is increasingly a focus of attention for
language teachers. Experiments in data driven learning and
corpus-based methods are beginning to bear fruit in a wide range of
language teaching environments. This international conference will
bring together practitioners and theorists with a common interest in
the usability of corpus data for such purposes as:

  * language teaching and learning
  * student-centred learning and investigation
  * cross-linguistic comparison
  * cultural and historical studies

The conference programme includes:

* A choice of pre-conference Workshops
Classroom Corpora (Chris Tribble);
Parallel Corpora (Knut Hofland);
The Battle of the Giants: BoE vs. BNC (Jem Clear and Guy Aston)

* Invited lectures from Jem Clear (COBUILD), and from Professsor Jean
  Aitchison (Oxford)

* About 40 formal papers

* Poster sessions

* Book and software exhibits

Full details of the speakers and the programme, including rates and
registration forms, are available at the conference website:
