This year we have set ourselves an agenda that focuses on CALL and Complexity. We will explore the intricacies and challenges associated with learning and teaching languages and cultures in increasingly complex contexts—not only in terms of the technologies involved! We hope that this conference will provide yet another opportunity for mind expanding ex- changes inspired by innovative research. Over 350 participants from 39 different countries will be contributing to presentations, workshops, symposia, and meetings and will be networking and socialising with colleagues and friends from different corners of the world. We extend a particular warm welcome to the secondary school teachers who will join us on the first conference day. Their response to our attempt at reaching out to colleagues beyondour immediate constituency has been overwhelming and allows us to revive an initiative launched 10 years ago at the EUROCALL conference in Gandía. We would also like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to our keynote speakers and to our colleagues who contribute to our organisation throughout the year, during the run- up to our annual conference in particular. Your work on the local organising committee, the executive committee, as chairs and secretaries of the special interest groups, and as national reps is at the heart of EUROCALL. At the pulse of all of it is Toni Patton, the EUROCALL Secretary. Thank you for keeping us on track! A big “Thank you!” also to the team at Louvain-la Neuve who have done their utmost to accommodate the large number of attendees and to deal with the resulting “complexity” of the conference. We are looking forward to spending time with you in Louvain-la-Neuve and to pushing the boundaries of our field—yet again—a bit further.

  • The Spoken BNC2014: Designing and Building a Spoken Corpus Of
    The Spoken BNC2014 Designing and building a spoken corpus of everyday conversations Robbie Love i, Claire Dembry ii, Andrew Hardie i, Vaclav Brezina i and Tony McEnery i i Lancaster University / ii Cambridge University Press This paper introduces the Spoken British National Corpus 2014, an 11.5-million-word corpus of orthographically transcribed conversations among L1 speakers of British English from across the UK, recorded in the years 2012–2016. After showing that a survey of the recent history of corpora of spo- ken British English justifies the compilation of this new corpus, we describe the main stages of the Spoken BNC2014’s creation: design, data and metadata collection, transcription, XML encoding, and annotation. In doing so we aim to (i) encourage users of the corpus to approach the data with sensitivity to the many methodological issues we identified and attempted to overcome while com- piling the Spoken BNC2014, and (ii) inform (future) compilers of spoken corpora of the innovations we implemented to attempt to make the construction of cor- pora representing spontaneous speech in informal contexts more tractable, both logistically and practically, than in the past. Keywords: Spoken BNC2014, transcription, corpus construction, spoken corpora 1. Introduction The ESRC Centre for Corpus Approaches to Social Science (CASS) 1 at Lancaster University and Cambridge University Press have compiled a new, publicly- accessible corpus of present-day spoken British English, gathered in informal con- texts, known as the Spoken British National Corpus 2014 (Spoken BNC2014).

  • E-Language: Communication in the Digital Age Dawn Knight1, Newcastle University
    e-Language: Communication in the Digital Age Dawn Knight1, Newcastle University 1. Introduction Digital communication in the age of ‘web 2.0’ (that is the second generation of in the internet: an internet focused driven by user-generated content and the growth of social media) is becoming ever-increasingly embedded into our daily lives. It is impacting on the ways in which we work, socialise, communicate and live. Defining, characterising and understanding the ways in which discourse is used to scaffold our existence in this digital world is, therefore, emerged as an area of research that is a priority for applied linguists (amongst others). Corpus linguists are ideally situated to contribute to this work as they have the appropriate expertise to construct, analyse and characterise patterns of language use in large- scale bodies of such digital discourse (labelled ‘e-language’ here - also known as Computer Mediated Communication, CMC: see Walther, 1996; Herring, 1999 and Thurlow et al., 2004, and ‘netspeak’, Crystal, 2003: 17). Typically, forms of e-language are technically asynchronous insofar as each of them is ‘stored at the addressee’s site until they can be ‘read’ by the recipient (Herring 2007: 13). They do not require recipients to be present/ready to ‘receive’ the message at the same time that it is sent, as spoken discourse typically does (see Condon and Cech, 1996; Ko, 1996 and Herring, 2007). However, with the increasing ubiquity of digital communication in daily life, the delivery and reception of digital messages is arguably becoming increasingly synchronous. Mobile apps, such as Facebook, WhatsApp and I-Message (the Apple messaging system), for example, have provisions for allowing users to see when messages are being written, as well as when they are received and read by the.

  • Investigating Vocabulary in Academic Spoken English
    INVESTIGATING VOCABULARY IN ACADEMIC SPOKEN ENGLISH: CORPORA, TEACHERS, AND LEARNERS BY THI NGOC YEN DANG A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Applied Linguistics Victoria University of Wellington 2017 Abstract Understanding academic spoken English is challenging for second language (L2) learners at English-medium universities. A lack of vocabulary is a major reason for this difficulty. To help these learners overcome this challenge, it is important to examine the nature of vocabulary in academic spoken English. This thesis presents three linked studies which were conducted to address this need. Study 1 examined the lexical coverage in nine spoken and nine written corpora of four well-known general high-frequency word lists: West’s (1953) General Service List (GSL), Nation’s (2006) BNC2000, Nation’s (2012) BNC/COCA2000, and Brezina and Gablasova’s (2015) New-GSL. Study 2 further compared the BNC/COCA2000 and the New-GSL, which had the highest coverage in Study 1. It involved 25 English first language (L1) teachers, 26 Vietnamese L1 teachers, 27 various L1 teachers, and 275 Vietnamese English as a Foreign Language learners. The teachers completed 10 surveys in which they rated the usefulness of 973 non-overlapping items between the BNC/COCA2000 and the New- GSL for their learners in a five-point Likert scale. The learners took the Vocabulary Levels Test (Nation, 1983, 1990; Schmitt, Schmitt, & Clapham, 2001), and 15 Yes/No tests which measured their knowledge of the 973 words. Study 3 involved compiling two academic spoken corpora, one academic written corpus, and one non-academic spoken corpus.

    FREMDSPRACHENZERTIFIKATE IN DER SCHULE Handreichung März 2014 Referat 522 Fremdsprachen, Bilingualer Unterricht und Internationale Abschlüsse Redaktion: Henny Rönneper 2 Vorwort Fremdsprachenzertifikate in den Schulen in Nordrhein-Westfalen Sprachen öffnen Türen, diese Botschaft des Europäischen Jahres der Sprachen gilt ganz besonders für junge Menschen. Das Zusammenwachsen Europas und die In- ternationalisierung von Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft verlangen die Fähigkeit, sich in mehreren Sprachen auszukennen. Fremdsprachenkenntnisse und interkulturelle Er- fahrungen werden in der Ausbildung und im Studium zunehmend vorausgesetzt. Sie bieten die Gewähr dafür, dass Jugendliche die Chancen nutzen können, die ihnen das vereinte Europa für Mobilität, Begegnungen, Zusammenarbeit und Entwicklung bietet. Um die fremdsprachliche Bildung in den allgemein- und berufsbildenden Schulen in Nordrhein-Westfalen weiter zu stärken, finden in Nordrhein-Westfalen internationale Zertifikatsprüfungen in vielen Sprachen statt, an denen jährlich mehrere tausend Schülerinnen und Schüler teilnehmen. Sie erwerben internationale Fremdsprachen- zertifikate als Ergänzung zu schulischen Abschlusszeugnissen und zum Europäi- schen Portfolio der Sprachen und erreichen damit eine wichtige Zusatzqualifikation für Berufsausbildungen und Studium im In- und Ausland. Die vorliegende Informationsschrift soll Lernende und Lehrende zu fremdsprachli- chen Zertifikatsprüfungen ermutigen und ihnen angesichts der wachsenden Zahl an- gebotener Zertifikate eine Orientierungshilfe geben.

  • SELECTING and CREATING a WORD LIST for ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING by Deny A
    Teaching English with Technology, 17(1), 60-72, http://www.tewtjournal.org 60 SELECTING AND CREATING A WORD LIST FOR ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING by Deny A. Kwary and Jurianto Universitas Airlangga Dharmawangsa Dalam Selatan, Surabaya 60286, Indonesia d.a.kwary @ unair.ac.id / [email protected] Abstract Since the introduction of the General Service List (GSL) in 1953, a number of studies have confirmed the significant role of a word list, particularly GSL, in helping ESL students learn English. Given the recent development in technology, several researchers have created word lists, each of them claims to provide a better coverage of a text and a significant role in helping students learn English. This article aims at analyzing the claims made by the existing word lists and proposing a method for selecting words and a creating a word list. The result of this study shows that there are differences in the coverage of the word lists due to the difference in the corpora and the source text analysed. This article also suggests that we should create our own word list, which is both personalized and comprehensive. This means that the word list is not just a list of words. The word list needs to be accompanied with the senses and the patterns of the words, in order to really help ESL students learn English. Keywords: English; GSL; NGSL; vocabulary; word list 1. Introduction A word list has been noted as an essential resource for language teaching, especially for second language teaching. The main purpose for the creation of a word list is to determine the words that the learners need to know, in order to provide more focused learning materials.
