Authenticating Language Learning: Web Collaboration Meets Pedagogic Corpora
February 17-19, 2011, University of Tübingen
About the Symposium
This event will focus on combining web collaboration and pedagogic applications of corpora in order to facilitate and strengthen authentication in language learning and teaching. Emphasis is thus on both content and communication-based learning activities and on how computer mediated communication (CMC) and corpus methodologies can be pedagogically integrated for generating innovative synergies. The symposium language is English.
The event is open to researchers and practitioners from above fields, inside and outside of English linguistics.
