Interest Group (IG) Event
This presentation will introduce innovative ways to use learner corpora (collections of spoken or written texts from learners) in the language learning classroom, focusing on asset-based approaches to learner language. Example activities will be from MACAWS (a learner corpus of Portuguese and Russian), but principles shared will be applicable to English and other languages. Resources for a variety of languages will be provided.
