UCLouvain Error Editor Version 2 (UCLEEv2) Now Available! We are very pleased to announce that Version 2 of the UCLouvain Error Editor (UCLEEv2) has just been released under a Creative Commons Licence (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0). The program can be downloaded from UCLouvain’s Open Educational Resources platform using the following link: http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12279/968 The software, which was developed at the Centre for English Corpus Linguistics (CECL) (Université catholique de Louvain, Belgium), aims to facilitate the insertion of error tags and corrections into learner texts, as well as their subsequent processing. It comes with the following functions:
* Tagset selection * Menu-driven tag insertion * Tag consistency checking * Concordancing * Error statistics * Automatic exercise generator. By default UCLEEv2 uses the freely available tagset described in the Louvain Error Tagging Manual Version 2.0<https://cdn.uclouvain.be/groups/cms-editors-cecl/cecl-papers/Granger%20et%20al._Error%20tagging%20manual%202.0_final_CC.pdf> (Granger, Swallow & Thewissen 2022), but users can also design their own tagset and work with it in UCLEEv2. The initial version of the tagset was developed to tag the first version of the International Corpus of Learner English (ICLE) (Granger et al. 2002) and further refined in the context of the two subsequent versions of the ICLE (Granger et al. 2009 and 2020). The various versions have been used in many other learner corpus projects internationally. UCLEEv2 includes a built-in converter which allows users to work on texts tagged with previous versions of UCLEE. The program is accompanied by a detailed user guide<https://cdn.uclouvain.be/groups/cms-editors-cecl/cecl-papers/UCLEE%20user%20guide_final-CC.pdf> (Granger, Swallow & Thewissen 2023). We hope that the program will prove useful to researchers interested in assessing the accuracy of L2 writing, investigating errors produced by specific learner groups and designing materials focused on their attested difficulties. Feedback welcome! Sylviane Granger, Helen Swallow and Jennifer Thewissen
