Description:

This three-year PhD position is in the project “Young German Learner
English” . The project is a joint venture with the universities of
Hamburg and Freiburg. It aims at the empirical analysis of complexity,
correctness and fluency as important constructs in the study of second
language acquisition. To this end, a corpus of spoken and written
production data from learners of English as a foreign language will be
completed and annotated. In this corpus, the aforementioned constructs
and their interactions will be investigated and contextual and social
factors (e.g. motivation, socio-economic status) will be included in
order to model the course of second language acquisition of English in
the German context. The knowledge gained in this applied project will
be used in the training of teachers as well as in the optimization of
the development of textbooks and materials.

Your profile:
 - Completed postgraduate university degree (first state examination,
master’s/diploma or comparable) in English Studies (with a focus on
linguistics), English Linguistics, Applied Linguistics or in a related
discipline
 - Ability to work independently in an academic environment

 - Knowledge of or interest in learning about Learner Corpus Research
 - Interest in your own scientific qualification in the context of a
PhD related to the project
