Teacher Trainees Create and Exploit a Graded Reader Corpus
Original language description
Trainees are MA students in a Faculty of Arts teacher training program. In Spring 2014, their courses in ?Linguistics for Language Teachers? ran in parallel with "Syllabus, Lesson and Material Design for ELT". The pre-service teachers are mostly familiaras their undergraduate program offers courses that revolve around corpora. Further training was available through worksheets taken from Discovering English with Sketch Engine (Thomas 2015). We use Sketch Engine to create corpora and for linguistic analysis. Working in small groups, each chose a graded reader, scanned it and added it to an existing corpus of graded readers. The trainees used our concordancing software to search their texts for examples of a wide range of language features that they willsoon be teaching. They made a subcorpus of books at the same GR Level.
