A Multimodal, Longitudinal Corpus Project #717

This talk introduces a project to create a multimodal, longitudinal learner corpus to be made available to researchers both in and outside the creators’ university setting. The corpus design includes two years of longitudinal learner data from a university English language program including three modes of communication: discussion, presentation, and academic writing. This type of data can be used to conduct cross-modal studies, investigate longitudinal trends or, in combination with other corpora, contrastive interlanguage analysis.
