Hi,
There were a couple of messages last July on corpora about POS tagging
for learner data (and spoken language). Please see my message at:

You should also look at the work of John Milton:

Subject: [Corpora-List] POS-tagging learner corpora
Dear All
Has anybody reviewed or assessed the rate of accuracy of POS-tagging
(not error tagging) to learner corpora, or simply reported the use of
POS-tagging in their learner corpora studies? Due to the unexpected
non-native features of learner English, POS tagging systems designed for
NSs will need some modification or adjustment when used on learner
corpora. I wonder whether somebody has already worked out some better
solutions than simply using POS tagging software for general purposes. I
am aware that this thorny issue of learner corpora study was addressed
somewhat before (for example, Granger in Granger 2002) and there were
few studies based on POS tagging to learner corpora, but in this fast
growing area there might be some progress which has already largely
outdated the problem (POS-tagging to learner corpora) (fingers crossed).
All the best
