A longitudinal corpus of Mexican English learners 

All the participants are University students of bachelor in modern languages (translation and/or teaching). Specifications on their personal profiles such as gender, age, mother tongue and second language learning background and L2 proficiency level are contained in the sheet (learners´profiles) in the data section.

To elicit data it has been designed a 16-minutes interview divided into four parts. The interaction in this interview  is one-on-one (interviewer and participant). All the interaction is video-recorded via video call app. Recorded videos are available for research upon request.  Interviewers are Mexican Spanish native speakers holding the levels of proficiency B2 and above. 

Tasks in the interview are:

• Open-ended questions on familiar topics such as family, friends, occupation, and leisure activities (e.g. my free time).

• Questions about likes and preferences with some options given in which the participant has to make choices and support them (e.g. coffe or tea?).

• Familiar topics personal narratives and a picture-based narrative.

• Opinion questions on social, educational, and/or technology issues.
