3:00 PM - 4:00 PM Pacific
Interest Group (IG) Event
The goal of this talk is to give CATESOL instructors practical ideas of how they can use corpus tools to improve students’ academic writing and speaking skills. The presentation will begin with a brief overview of corpus tools that are freely available online. Then, we will examine how these tools can be incorporated in the ESL class to bring examples of ‘authentic language’ to your classroom. Finally, we will share a collection of example activities that integrate corpus in the ESL classroom.
Invited speaker Larissa Goulart is an Assistant Professor of Linguistics and coordinates the Laboratory for Applied Corpus Linguistics Research at Montclair State University. Her research interest lies in corpus-based approaches to register variation, academic discourse, and second language writing. Most of her research is informed by her experience as a Portuguese and English language teacher. She taught EFL/ESL classes in Brazil and in the US and Portuguese as a Foreign/Second Language in Brazil, the US and the UK.
