    Dear Chris (and list members),

    I am sorry my question was not framed clearly. I meant that I would like
    to know if there is a corpus of (preferably written) texts that deal with
    ISSUES in education (e.g. teacher training, learning styles, curricula,
    life-long learning) rather than a corpus of discourse produced IN
    educational settings.

    Thank you very much for your suggestions.

    Best,

    Sara Gesuato
