Abstract

Abstract This paper discusses the development and implementation of a locally‐sourced corpus to address the specific needs of an ESL writing program. The paper begins with a description of the motivation and development of the Corpus of Ohio Learner and Teacher English (COLTE), a large in‐house corpus consisting of assessed ESL student writing and teacher feedback from first‐year writing courses. The paper illustrates research conducted within the local context using the COLTE and discusses how the program's corpus‐based approach influenced curricular revisions and instructional practice. It addresses the evaluation of these efforts, challenges encountered, and considerations for building and using corpora at the program level. The paper concludes by arguing that stakeholders within programs can work collaboratively to build and use locally‐sourced corpora grounded in their specific setting to explore local practices and address the English language learning and teaching needs of their own particular context.

语料库,本地来源:一种解决ESL写作课程特定需求的方法
摘要本文讨论了本地来源语料库的开发和实施,以解决ESL写作计划的具体需求。本文首先描述了俄亥俄州学习者和教师英语语料库(COLTE)的动机和发展,这是一个大型的内部语料库,由经过评估的ESL学生写作和第一年写作课程的教师反馈组成。本文阐述了使用COLTE在当地背景下进行的研究,并讨论了该计划的基于语料库的方法如何影响课程修订和教学实践。它阐述了对这些工作的评估、遇到的挑战,以及在规划级别构建和使用语料库的考虑。本文最后认为,项目中的利益相关者可以协同工作,建立和使用基于其特定环境的本地来源语料库,以探索当地实践,并解决其特定环境下的英语学习和教学需求。

期刊介绍: TESOL Quarterly, a professional, refereed journal, was first published in 1967. The Quarterly encourages submission of previously unpublished articles on topics of significance to individuals concerned with English language teaching and learning and standard English as a second dialect. As a publication that represents a variety of cross-disciplinary interests, both theoretical and practical, the Quarterly invites manuscripts on a wide range of topics, especially in the following areas: -psychology and sociology of language learning and teaching -issues in research and research methodology -testing and evaluation -professional preparation -curriculum design and development -instructional methods, materials, and techniques -language planning -professional standards Because the Quarterly is committed to publishing manuscripts that contribute to bridging theory and practice in our profession, it particularly welcomes submissions that address the implications and applications of research in, for example, -anthropology -applied and theoretical linguistics -communication education -English education, including reading and writing theory -psycholinguistics -psychology -first and second language acquisition -sociolinguistics The Quarterly prefers that all submissions be written in a style that is accessible to a broad readership, including those individuals who may not be familiar with the subject matter. TESOL Quarterly is an international journal. It welcomes submissions from English language contexts around the world.
