This volume showcases original, agenda-setting studies in the field
of learner corpus research of both spoken and written production.
The studies have important applications for classroom pedagogy. The
volume brings readers up-to-date with new written and spoken
learner corpora, often looking at previously under-examined
variables in learner corpus investigations. It also demonstrates
innovative applications of learner corpus findings, addressing
issues such as the effect of task, the effect of learner variables
and the nature of learner language. The volume is of significant
interest to researchers working in corpus linguistics, learner
corpus research, second language acquisition and English for
Academic and Specific Purposes, as well to practitioners interested
in the application of the findings in language teaching and
assessment.
