MACAWS

The Multilingual Academic Corpus of Assignments - Writing and Speech (MACAWS) is a corpus of assignments (texts, spoken discourse, and multimedia products such as blogs) produced by learners in different language programs at a large university in the American Southwest. This learner corpus is also associated with a repository of pedagogical artifacts (e.g., syllabi, assignment sheets, lesson plans). Two Less Commonly Taught Languages (LCTLs) are currently included in MACAWS, Portuguese and Russian.
