Abstract
Implementation of Learner Corpus Data into English Class: A Corpus-aided English Speaking Training Programme
Learner spoken corpora have been shown to be an effective tool for language teaching and learning because learners’ awareness of their own speech could be raised. This TDG sharing will introduce ‘The English Speech Corpus with Different Proficiency Levels’ and a flipped corpus-aided English speaking learning programme. The speech corpus includes 78 sets of English spontaneous speech data with different proficiency levels and annotations from four aspects, fluency and coherence, lexical resource, grammatical range and accuracy, and pronunciation. A flipped corpus-aided English-speaking learning programme was designed and implemented to help English learners identify the linguistic features that speakers with different proficiency levels have. We will also provide pedagogical suggestions on how to integrate spoken corpus data into English class.
