Overview of the corpus

The first version of this corpus, under the LETEC standard - corpus for learning -, (Reffay, C. Chanier, T. Lamy, M.-N. & Betbeder, M.-L. (2009)) may be downloaded from Mulce website with the code oai:mulce.org:mce.simu.all.all. From the original corpus have been extracted all the interactions between the participants to the Simuligne chat class. The initial corpus has been converted to the TEI standard in the project CoMeRe (Communication médiée par les réseaux) . This project aims at assembling different corpora that are representative of various types of network communication (Internet, phone, etc.), all structured and informed in the same manner, broadcasted in free-access for research aims. The CoMeRe project is supported by ORTOLANG and the national consortium Corpus-écrits. ; Learners, natives and tutors all followed the learning scneario corresponding to the global simulation Simuligne ; Learners, natives and tutors all followed the learning scneario corresponding to the global simulation Simuligne ; Learners, natives and tutors all followed the learning scneario corresponding to the global simulation Simuligne ; Learners, natives and tutors all followed the learning scneario corresponding to the global simulation Simuligne ; Before the Simuligne experiment tutors were prepared before the took in charge their learning group. During the experiment, they regularly met here in order to exchange their experience ; All English and French spekaers - tutors, leaernes, natives , were gathered here and followed a leanirng scenarion akin to the Cultura expriment ;

Rationale for this corpus

The online class Simuligne (2001) addresses French language learners from The Open University in Great-Britain. The learning scenario is based on a global simulation (Yaiche, 1996) for learning French as a foreign language (FLE-FFL) and also includes an intercultural unit "Interculture", inspired by the project Cultura (Furstenberg, 1999). Scenario 1 : A big British university is searching for the perfect student city, situated in France, in order to establish there for the next ten years all its language training courses. 2000 students may register for these courses. The venue of such an important number of students is of great commercial, cultural, touristic and universitary interest for the selected city. The idea is, for you and your partners to create this perfect city which will be able to respond in the better way to the needs of the British students and to apply for the "Open City-Ville Ouverte" contest organized by the British university. You will be contesting with three other groups, also participating to the "Open City-Ville Ouvert" contest. Each group builds, during 6 weeks, its perfect city with its places, people, meetings, events. Finally, the elements set during the six weeks of work are assembled on the poster of each group representing a city. The four posters are presented to the participants. A voting elects the best poster. Scenario 2 : Interculture, exchanging viewpoints between French-speaking and English-speaking on current-life situations. All the participants to the project (learners, tutors, teachers, technicians, researchers) have been gathered and separated in txo categories: English-speaking and French-speaking. Everybody could speak his/her own language (cf. the model of Cultura project). . For more details on the pedagogical scenario, see Chanier, T. (2009). (editor).

This corpus is a subpart of the CoMeRe corpus databank. The CoMeRe (Communication Médiée par les Réseaux) 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, sub-part of Huma-Num, and Ortolang (French correspondant to DARIAH).

The TEI structure used is an extension of TEI for CMC genres. This extension is developped by a European project which participants are : Michael Beißwenger (DE), Thierry Chanier (FR), Isabella Chiari (IT), Maria Ermakova (DE), Maarten van Gompel (NL), Iris Hendrickx (NL), Axel Herold (DE), Henk van den Heuvel (NL), Lothar Lemnitzer (DE), Angelika Storrer (DE).

Description of the Interaction Space

    Types of interaction

    channel: mode: w , Learning Management System (LMS), WebCT
    constitution: This corpus is made of interactions between participants (learners, natives, tutors, researchers) during the online language learning Simuligne experiment (2001). All these interactions happened within the LMS and are made of textacht turns, emails and forum messages. Participants were organized in groups (learning groups) : 4 following "scenario 1", a fifth one gathering all participants during the Interculture activity ("scenario 2",(see projectDesc) a sixth restrained to tutors). All details about groups are in particDesc. Data have been collected by the corpus compiler of the first LETEC Simuligne corpus (2009). Since WebCT had no export facilties, data have been extracted out of WebCT internal database, then structured and anonymized.
