Task-supported CALL in an English for Academic Purposes Course EAP pedagogic corpus What is a pedagogic corpus?

Task-supported CALL in an English for Academic Purposes Course EAP pedagogic corpus What is a pedagogic corpus? “A corpus consisting of all the language a learner has been exposed to. For most learners, their pedagogic corpus does not exist in physical form. If a teacher or researcher does decide to collect a pedagogic corpus, it can consist of all the course books, readers etc a learner has used, plus any tapes etc they have heard.” (Hunston, 2002)

Task-supported CALL in an English for Academic Purposes Course EAP pedagogic corpus What is the EAP pedagogic corpus? A corpus of 12 reading texts used during the spring semester of the EAP Reading course Includes newspaper articles, online news reports and student questionnaires Corpus size is about 12,000 words

“A task-supported approach” Integrating CMC tasks into the course Tasks used in the course Classroom procedures Student interaction during CMC tasks Task-supported CALL in an English for Academic Purposes Course Computer-mediated communication tasks

What is a task-supported approach? “Here tasks are not seen as a means by which learners acquire new knowledge or restructure their interlanguages but simply as a means by which learners can activate their existing knowledge of the L2 by developing fluency.” (Ellis, 2003, p. 30) Task-supported CALL in an English for Academic Purposes Course Computer-mediated communication tasks

How do CMC tasks fit into the course? “the formality and complexity of language in electronic discussion suggests that it might be an excellent medium for pre-writing work” (Warschauer, 1997, p. 22) 1.
