Corpora and Digital Assessment in English Education
This volume explores the intersection of learner corpus research, digital assessment, and pedagogical innovation in English Language Teaching (ELT) and English for Academic Purposes (EAP). It outlines a corpus-informed approach to digital pedagogy that integrates linguistic evidence, e-assessment design, and AI-mediated feedback within an integrated framework for reflective and data-driven learning.
The research is based on two complementary learner corpora capturing distinct yet connected aspects of L2 performance. One focuses on language accuracy and morpho-syntactic patterns in controlled testing contexts, while the other examines discourse features of academic writing. Together, these corpora offer complementary perspectives on learner language, showing how grammatical accuracy, lexical choice, and discourse features operate across testing and academic contexts, and how digital environments mediate these dimensions of performance.
Building on corpus-based insights, the study illustrates how e-learning environments and AI tools can connect linguistic research with pedagogical practice. Digital activities and AI-generated feedback, informed by learner data, exemplify how empirical analysis can be transformed into adaptive feedback, reflective learning, and curriculum innovation.
By integrating linguistic research with digital pedagogy, this work positions learner corpora as active pedagogical resources that connect linguistic evidence with educational design. It proposes a data-informed model of language education that promotes transparency, learner agency, and continuous pedagogical advancement in the evolving landscape of digital learning.
