Our first workshop of the day on #Lancsbox with Vaclav Brezina! Many affordances for corpus approaches to language teaching and learning! Linguistics and English Language, Lancaster Uni CASS ManMetUni Languages Manchester Centre for Research in Linguistics #TaLC2024

Nice 1st workshop by Vaclav Brezina on #LancsBoxX #TaLC2024

Impressed that you can now create lexeme-based #wordlists and #concordances with #LancsBoxX Words with the same spelling but different part of speech and/or semantic class are counted separately. Can see lots of applications of this in DDL/materials creation 👏👏 #TaLC2024

Managing expectation (actually), flow of information (yeah), rephrasing (well), reference (let me tell you) - Even an imagined interlocutor prompts speakers to use discourse features, as Dana Gablasova finds TaLC conference 2024 - and use increases with proficiency. Great stuff! 🗣️ #TaLC2024

Thanks to everyone who submitted conversation recordings this month! Here are a few examples of the conversations we've received: youtube.com/shorts/MZSDnTU…
