Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this project, we have been working mainly on three things: First, we have closely reviewed ICLE (International Corpus of Learner English) and LINDSEI (Louvain International Database of Spoken English Interlanguage) Japanese sub-corpora in order to finalize the error-tagging procedure to both corpora. Then, we have created web-based learning materials for Japanese EFL learners based on the grammatical errors (verbs, nouns, articles, etc.) shown in the both error-tagged corpora. Finally, we have opened our group web site in order to upload and disseminate the achievement of our research project.
