Subject: 2nd Call: Data-Driven Learning, Younger Learners

 
This is the 2nd call for chapters for an upcoming edited volume edited by Dr.
Peter Crosthwaite, University of Queensland.  

This edited volume focuses on the use of corpora for data-driven learning
(DDL, Johns, 1991) with young (i.e. pre-tertiary) learners. DDL, despite being
a feature of corpora and language learning research for some time, has really
taken off as a viable methodological approach in the last decade due to
innovations in corpus query interfaces, data visualisation, open access and
improved internet access/speed. However, for a number of reasons including
access, resources and difficulties in convincing those outside academia of the
value of DDL, the majority of studies on DDL are conducted with tertiary or
adult learners, leaving DDL for younger learners (those in pre-school,
primary, or secondary education) as a relatively underexplored area in the
literature.

With this in mind, chapter proposals are invited that explore the use of DDL
with younger learners.  Studies dealing with DDL for first or second language
acquisition, genre and register learning/teaching and DDL for the
teaching/learning of subjects other than languages are particularly welcome.
The corpora involved in any of these studies can be spoken, written or
multimodal. Chapters may be empirical studies of corpus use and its effects on
learning, studies that explore the perceptions of corpus use by younger
learners/teachers of younger learners, or studies that make a novel
contribution to theory or methodology, such as new software or corpora that
deal specifically with younger learners, and new approaches in training
teachers / students of younger learners in DDL techniques.

Final chapters will be approximately 6000-7500 words. Chapter proposals of
400-500 words are due March 31, 2018.  The edited volume is to be published by
Routledge in 2019, part of the Taylor and Francis publishing group.
