Learner Corpus Research - Theory and practical applications

Host Institution: University of Bremen
Coordinating Institution: University of Bremen

Dates: 27-Aug-2018 - 31-Aug-2018
Location: Bremen, Germany

Focus: The aim of the event is to introduce researchers into the field of Learner Corpus Research through a series of overview lectures and hands-on sessions. The summer school is targeted at both young researchers, e.g. PhD students who have recently embarked on a learner corpus project, but also more experienced researchers from neighbouring fields such as corpus linguistics, SLA or LTA who want to know more about this dynamic, interdisciplinary field of research.
Minimum Education Level: MA


Description:
Advance Notice:

The faculty of Linguistics and Literary Studies at the University of Bremen,
Germany, is pleased to announce that it will host a summer school on Learner
Corpus Research in August 2018, organised under the aegis of the Learner
Corpus Association (http://www.learnercorpusassociation.org).

The following topics will be covered: the design and compilation of learner
corpora, learner corpus methodology and annotation, statistics for the
analysis of learner corpus data, combining learner corpora with other data
types in SLA research and, depending on the needs and interests of the
participants, a selection of elective modules (consisting of a lecture and
hands-on session) on the application of Learner Corpus Research, e.g. in
teaching and testing and assessment. The classes will be taught by an
international team of leading experts in the field. Participants will also
have the opportunity to give a brief presentation on their project and meet
one of the teachers to discuss their projects individually.

A more detailed call for applications will be posted in January 2018.
