Dear all,
On behalf of Joybrato Mukherjee (University of Giessen), I would like to
announce the publication of a new book that might be of interest to some of
you (TOC attached below):
Sabine Braun, Kurt Kohn and Joybrato Mukherjee, eds. (2006):
Corpus Technology and Language pedagogy: New Resources, New Tools, New
Methods.
(English Corpus Linguistics, Volume 3)
Frankfurt/Main: Peter Lang.
ISBN: 3-631-54720-X
38 EUR
http://www.peterlang.com
About the volume:
The use of corpora and corpus technology for language learning and teaching
purposes has been on the agenda of researchers, lexicographers and
pedagogues for more than two decades now. The present volume is intended to
take stock of some major developments in corpus-informed language pedagogy
and brings together a number of contributions, many of which were
originally presented at the Language Technology section of the LearnTec
Conference in Karlsruhe/Germany in 2005. The contributions present new
resources, new tools and new methods for corpus-informed language pedagogy.
In general, the papers demonstrate a noticeable shift from the more
'traditional' uses of corpora and corpus technology in linguistic research
towards uses with specific pedagogical goals in mind.
