Description

The first version of this corpus, under the LETEC standard - corpus for learning -, (Chanier, T., Reffay, C., Betbeder, M-L., Ciekanski, M. & Lamy, M-N. (2009)) may be downloaded from Mulce website http://repository.mulce.org with the code oai:mulce.org:mce.copeas.lectec.all. From the original corpus have been extracted all the interactions between the course participants. The Copéas course took place in a Masters' degree in open and distance learning at the Université de Franche-Comté in 2005. The course (Master FOAD) is intended for those who want to pursue a career in education and training, either in the private or the public sector. It aimed to enable learners to develop a critical understanding of web-based learning while simultaneously helping them talk and write about the web in English. The Copéas course was intensive and lasted 10 weeks. Students, during 8 sessions, engaged in 60 to 80 minutes of tutored synchronous online discussion (in Lyceum) per week. In each session,learners were working alternatively in whole group in the same Lyceum room and in subgroup in distinct rooms. Theere were 14 students, organized in two groups: false beginners (group T) and intermediate to advanced learners (group R). The two teachers of the course were English native speakers from Open University’s Institute of Educational Technology and its Department of Languages.

The initial corpus was then converted to TEI standard in the project CoMeRe (Communication Médiée par les Réseaux). This project aims to build a kernel corpus assembling existing corpora of different CMC (Computer-Mediated Communication) genres and new corpora build on data extracted from the Internet. These heterogenous corpora will be structured and processed in a uniform way, complemented with metadata. CoMeRe will be released as OpenData through the national infrastructure Ortolang, following constraints which will be reused for the forthcoming “Corpus de Référence du Français”. Project supported by the national consortium Corpus-écrits.
