I am researching synchronous and asynchronous computer-mediated 
interaction among second language (L2) learners. The data I have 
collected consists of task-based chat discussions among learners of 
German, and I am looking to expand my study to include other 
computer-mediated L2 data, i.e. second/foreign language chats, texts, 
and emails.

Most L2 corpora contain written texts, such as essays/compositions 
(Chinese Learner English Corpus, Uppsala Student English Project, 
International Corpus of Learner English, Longman Learners' Corpus). 
A few contain speech (ISLE Speech Corpus). Thus far, I have only 
been able to locate one corpus of computer-mediated learner 
discourse, namely Julie Belz' Telekorp of German L1/L2. Does anyone 
know of any other L2 (including English as L2) corpora I might be able 
to access?

I will post a summary of the replies.

Thank you,
Ilona Vandergriff
