International Corpus of Learner English ICLEv2
We are pleased to announce the release of the second version of the International Corpus of Learner English CD-ROM. ICLEv2 contains 3.7 million words of writing from higher intermediate to advanced learners of English representing 16 different mother tongue backgrounds (Bulgarian, Chinese, Czech, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Polish, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, Tswana). It differs from the first version published in 2002 not only by its increased size and range of learner populations, but also by its interface, which contains two new functionalities: built-in concordancer allowing users to search for word forms, lemmas and/or parts-of-speech tags and breakdown of the query results according to the learner profile information.
The accompanying ICLEv2 Handbook contains a detailed description of the corpus, a user's manual and an overview of the ELT situation in the countries of origin of the learners.
There are three types of licence (for non-profit research purposes only): single user, multiple-user (2-10) and multiple-user (11-25).
The corpus can be ordered online at http://www.i6doc.com/doc/icleindv2
