LV-Beschreibung

Inhalt/e

In this seminar course you will be actively involved in combining corpus linguistic methodology with language test validation. The approach consists in using corpus data consisting of annotated authentic pupil writing performances in order to predict assessments of these performances made by trained raters in the context of the Austrian national educational standards tests for English in grade 8.

Themen

  • the principles of corpus linguistics
  • the concept of error
  • the nature of test validity

Lehrziel

Apart from theoretical input provided by the course instructors, you will be required to apply the theoretical concepts to selected performances and determine yourself to what extent the errors that you will have identified in the performances predict in a statistical sense the ratings that each performance was awarded by trained raters.

Erwartete Vorkenntnisse

Student should have passed their introductory courses (Introduction to English Studies; Introduction to Linguistics; Survey of Linguistics) and at least one Topics in Linguistics.
