Extract

The Moray House School of Education, The University of Edinburgh, UK; 7–8 May 2009

The seminar, organised by Joan Cutting and Bróna Murphy, aimed

  • • to bring together researchers involved in both emergent and established academic corpora (written and spoken) as well as linguists, lecturers and teachers researching in education, be it language teaching, language-teacher training or continuing professional development in language awareness, all of whom may be new to corpora and its applications;

  • • to explore the possibilities of working together with researchers in speech recognition and synthesis, and other specialists in technological innovation;

  • • to provide an opportunity to disseminate the latest developments in academic language corpora.

The seminar strengthened links between institutions and created networks for researchers to explore ways that corpora can help to study general classroom practice and be used as part of language classroom teaching. It attracted 30 participants from universities in the Czech Republic, the Republic of Ireland, Italy, Japan, Switzerland and the UK; there were two plenary papers and 14 individual papers.
