The Arabic Learners Written Corpus-Free OER

 The Arabic Learners Written Corpus

The Arabic Learners Written Corpus is an extensive Arabic learner collection comprising many written samples produced by L2 and heritage students, collected over 15 years of teaching.Description: Developed by Dr. Samira Farwaneh (University of Arizona), this extensive Arabic learner corpus comprises numerous written samples produced by L2 and heritage students, collected over 15 years of teaching. They were transcribed into a database with cross-referenced categories according to level (beginning, intermediate, advanced), learner (L2 vs. heritage), and genre (description, narration, instruction). The corpus serves as a source of empirical data for hypothesis testing as well as a resource for developing materials for teaching Arabic. A Spring 2010 workshop/demonstration took place at the Western Consortium of Middle East National Resource Centers’ Language Workshop.

This project is a collaboration between the Center for Educational Resources in Culture, Language and Literacy (CERCLL) and the Center for Middle Eastern Studies (CMES) at the University of Arizona, and the Center for Advanced Language Proficiency Education and Research (CALPER) at Pennsylvania State University.
