[Corpora-List] Data-Driven Learning materials

[John Milton]

You can download an MSWord toolbar called 'Check My Words' from
http://mywords.ust.hk/. It takes a DDL approach to grammar-checking for
learners of English, especially addressing common sentence-level errors of
Chinese speakers, but useful for English learners of any L1. A companion
program - 'Mark My Words' - can be used by teachers to insert comments
containing relevant DDL links in students' documents.

Dear all 

I'm trying to compile a list of published DDL materials for (L2) language
learning -- not materials which are simply corpus-informed (from
native-speaker or learner corpora), but where learners actually come into
contact with corpus data. 

I'm particularly interested in books, CD-ROMs, DVD-ROMS or internet sites
which are either wholly given over to DDL or which integrate DDL
activities in part -- anything which shows publishers have shown an
interest in DDL materials. (eg Tribble & Jones Concordances in the
Classroom; Barlow & Burdine Phrasal Verbs in Business / American Phrasal
Verbs; Thurston & Candlin Exploring Academic English; LingoNet
VideoCorpus; etc.) 

While I'm mainly concerned with published materials, I'd also be
interested in any links to other DDL resources which individuals or groups
may have produced but not published, especially on-line -- again, not
corpora, tools or interfaces on their own, but activities explicitly based
on corpora. (eg Tim Johns' Virtual DDL Library / Kibbitzing One-to-Ones;
Estling Vannestål & Lindquist's Corpora in Grammar Teaching; ICT4LT; etc.) 

The above examples are inevitable English-oriented, but materials in or
about other languages would be more than welcome. 

I will of course post results to Corpora List, but I'd also like to create
a web page which lists them as a complement to Tim Johns' data-driven
learning page (last revised 06/02/97), and review as many as possible. I'd
be grateful also then for URLs and references to published reviews and
descriptions... or even free samples if you have them! 

Thanks in advance 
alex
