Computer Learner Corpora, Second Language Acquisition and Foreign Language Teaching
Computer learner corpora are electronic collections of spoken or written texts
produced by foreign or second language learners in a variety of language settings. Once computerised, these data can be analysed with linguistic software tools, from simple ones, which search, count and display, to the most advanced
ones, which provide sophisticated analyses of the data.
Interest in computer learner corpora is growing fast, amidst increasing
recognition of their theoretical and practical value, and a number of these corpora, representing a range of mediums and genres and of varying sizes, either
have been or are currently being compiled. This volume takes stock of current
research into computer learner corpora conducted both by ELT and SLA specialists and should be of particular interest to researchers looking to assess its
relevance to SLA theory and ELT practice. Throughout the volume, emphasis
is also placed on practical, methodological aspects of computer learner corpus research, in particular the contribution of technology to the research process. The advantages and disadvantages of automated and semi-automated approaches are analysed, the capabilities of linguistic software tools investigated,
the corpora (and compilation processes) described in detail. In this way, an important function of the volume is to give practical insight to researchers who
may be considering compiling a corpus of learner data or embarking on learner
corpus research.
Impetus for the book came from the International Symposium on Computer
Learner Corpora, Second Language Acquisition and Foreign Language Teaching organised by Joseph Hung and Sylviane Granger at the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 1998. The volume is not a proceedings volume however,
but a collection of articles which focus specifically on the interrelationships
between computer learner corpora, second language acquisition and foreign
language teaching.
