The Centre for English Corpus Linguistics (CECL) is organizing the fifth 
edition of its Learner Corpus Research Summer School, which will take place at 
the University of Louvain, Belgium, from 3 to 7 July 2023.

The aim of the Summer School is to introduce learner corpus research through a 
series of lectures, workshops and hands-on sessions. It is intended both for 
(junior and seasoned) researchers who have recently embarked on a learner 
corpus project and those who simply want to know more about this exciting field 
of research. No prior knowledge in learner corpus research is expected.

Teaching staff: Sylvie De Cock, Gaëtanelle Gilquin, Sylviane Granger, 
Marie-Aude Lefer, Magali Paquot and Jennifer Thewissen.

The following topics will be covered:
Learner corpus design/compilation
Learner corpus annotation (including error annotation)
Learner corpus analysis (including data coding, Contrastive Interlanguage 
Analysis, Integrated Contrastive Model, introduction to statistics for learner 
corpus research)
Interpreting learner corpus data
Applications of learner corpus research

Hands-on sessions will help participants familiarize themselves with a range of 
software tools for linguistic analysis and native and learner corpora, in 
particular the International Corpus of Learner English and the Louvain 
International Database of Spoken English Interlanguage. 

Participants will have the opportunity to give a brief presentation of their 
project at the Learner Corpus Colloquium which will take place on the first day.

The Summer School will also feature one-to-one sessions with members of the 
CECL team to answer questions related to the design of individual projects.

Registration will open on 23 January 2023. Please note that the number of 
participants is limited to 30.
