Learner corpus research and language teaching *EDU*

The overarching question addressed by this course is how corpus research can inform L2 acquisition research and language teaching. It covers the origins and applications of learner corpus research as well as the basics of corpus compilation, annotation and analysis. Each week will be devoted to a detailed study of one major area of LCR research. We analyse and discuss learner corpus data from a number of case studies, and interpret their significance with respect to the seminar topic, ranging from vocabulary and phraseology to grammar and pragmatics.

Educational perspective
The course aims to provide an overview of the domain of learner corpus research, its contributions to L2 acquisition research and its applications in language teaching.
