Aesla 2011 getting_things_done_pascual_pérez-paredesPascual Pérez-ParedesThis document discusses the use of corpus linguistics in language education. It describes two approaches: top-down approaches that directly apply corpus linguistics research tools and methods to language teaching, and bottom-up approaches that adapt corpus tools and resources to educational contexts. The author argues that bottom-up approaches that make corpus resources easier for learners to use could help overcome challenges of the top-down possibilities scenario and better integrate corpora into mainstream language education.
TALC 2008 - What do annotators annotate? An analysis of language teachers’ co...Pascual Pérez-ParedesThis study analyzed how two language teachers annotated a corpus text for pedagogical purposes. The teachers were given training on corpus annotation and then annotated the same text segment. The researchers found that the two teachers annotated the text quite differently, with one teacher providing more categories, keywords, and denser annotation. This shows that pedagogical annotation is subjective and influenced by the individual teacher's approach. However, the study also found some agreement between the teachers. Analyzing patterns in a teacher's annotation behavior, such as through measures of category and keyword density, can provide insight into how they approach mediating corpus resources for language learners.
*Annotation tools: bridgingthe gap between corpora and clinical psychology.Pascual Pérez-Paredes1) The document introduces Backbone Annotator, a free annotation tool that bridges the gap between text corpora and clinical psychology research.
2) Previous work includes the SACODEYL project, which compiled and distributed European youth language data. Backbone Annotator builds upon this with an improved annotation process.
3) The tool is demonstrated through its use in annotating the Social Phobia Corpus, allowing for assisted assessment and psychological research through textual annotation.
TALC 2008 Workshop 1 - Teaching and Language CorporaPascual Pérez-ParedesThis document summarizes a workshop on annotating language teaching corpora. The workshop aims to introduce an annotation tool called SACODEYL Annotator, which allows users to annotate texts for pedagogical purposes. The workshop structure includes an overview of the annotation tool and categories, hands-on annotation of a sample text, and a discussion on exploiting annotations and issues in corpus-based language teaching.
Using pedagogic corpora in ELTPascual Pérez-ParedesThis document discusses using pedagogic corpora in English language teaching. It introduces pedagogic corpora as an alternative to directly transferring corpus linguistics research methods to the classroom. Pedagogic corpora are compiled with thematic relevance and recontextualization for authentication. The document also describes tools for annotating pedagogy in corpora and integrating corpus activities into English language and content-based instruction.
Discourse and corpusPascual Pérez-ParedesThis document discusses using corpus linguistics to analyze discourse. It explains that a corpus can reveal a text's lexical cohesion, cohesive properties, and narrative structure. By analyzing these features, researchers gain insights into the social approaches and power relations used in the discourse. The document then summarizes how these methods were applied to analyze a corpus from the Jehovah's Witnesses website, finding themes of persuasion and reliance on biblical references to convince readers of their doctrine.
Specialist genresPascual Pérez-ParedesThe document discusses the role of corpora in analyzing specialist genres in linguistics, focusing on both academic and professional discourse. It contrasts specialist corpora with larger mega-corpora, highlighting methodological advantages such as context, quantitative analysis, and a bottom-up approach. Furthermore, it emphasizes the importance of integrating qualitative data and contextual information in genre analysis to understand communicative purposes and constraints.
What can a corpus tell us about grammar?Pascual Pérez-ParedesThis document discusses what corpus linguistics can reveal about grammar. It outlines how analyzing large text collections shows grammar as patterns of use rather than absolute correctness. Grammatical choices are best understood through their associations with vocabulary, co-text, discourse factors and communication context. The document provides examples of studies investigating grammatical features across these different levels simultaneously rather than in isolation. It also discusses how corpus analysis has improved understanding of spoken grammar.
Pedagogical applications of corpus data for English for General and Specific ...Pascual Pérez-ParedesThe document discusses the pedagogical applications of corpus data in English for general and specific purposes, highlighting the significance of corpora in language education and various tools for annotation and analysis.

Sigurbjörg Jóhannesdóttir, Bernharð Antoniussen, Hákon Hákonarson og Arnar Úlfarsson. (2017, 6. október). Opnar kennslubækur. Hagur nemenda og kennara. Erindi í málstofu RANNUM - Opið netnám, stafræn tækni og starfsþróun. Menntakvika, Menntavísindasvið Háskóla Íslands.
Ágrip
Kostnaður nemenda vegna kennslubóka hefur hækkað. Nú er svo komið að meirihluti nemenda kaupir ekki þær kennslubækur sem kennarinn mælir með. Þetta hefur haft áhrif á námsárangur nemenda, hægt á námi þeirra og fælt þá frá námi. Á síðustu árum hafa verið farnar nokkrar leiðir til að lækka kostnað nemenda vegna menntunar og kennslubóka en þær hafa ekki skilað nægilega góðum árangri.
Það er sífellt verið að leita leiða til að snúa þessari þróun við svo að allir í heiminum eigi kost á að mennta sig óháð fjárhag. Heimurinn horfir sífellt meir til þess að opið menntaefni gæti verið lausnin við þeim vanda sem blasir við þar sem einungis þeir ríku geta menntað sig og keypt kennslubækur. Frá árinu 2002 hefur MIT-Massachusetts Institute of Technology lagt sitt af mörkum, til aukinnar menntunar í heiminum, með því að bjóða upp á ókeypis námskeið og námsefni á Internetinu og fleiri hafa fylgt í kjölfarið. Slíkt efni á Internetinu er nefnt opið menntaefni.
Í þessu erindi er fjallað um opnar kennslubækur sem er ein tegundin af opnu menntaefni. Opnar kennslubækur eru rafrænar, í ókeypis aðgangi á Internetinu og með opnum afnotaleyfum. Hér verður reynt að lýsa hvað opnar kennslubækur eru. Þá er rætt um afhverju kennslubækur ættu að vera opnar, hverjir notendur þeirra eru og afhverju höfundar ættu að gefa út opnar kennslubækur. Að lokum er skoðað hvaða hindranir kennarar standa frammi fyrir varðandi notkun á opnum kennslubókum og hvað þurfi að gera til að hvetja til notkunar og útgáfu á opnum kennslubókum.
TELL-OP App - How it worksPascual Pérez-ParedesThis document provides information on how a learning tool works and requests feedback from users.

Developing corpus-based resources for language learning: looking back in "hope"Pascual Pérez-ParedesThis document outlines the development of corpus-based resources for language learning over time. It begins with early steps creating multimedia youth language corpora like SACODEYL. It then discusses growing efforts including the Backbone search interface. Next, it covers work with young adults through the TELL-OP project promoting data-driven learning. Finally, it notes that while the pedagogic potential of corpora is still underexploited, guidance and technologies are improving to realize this potential for language learning.
Education as a multilingual and multicultural spacePascual Pérez-ParedesThe document discusses a round table on higher education as a multilingual and multicultural space held at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid in April 2015. It covers various contributions regarding the challenges of bilingual programs, the implementation of English-medium instruction (EMI), and the role of multilingual policies in internationalization within higher education. Key themes include the necessity of careful planning for multilingualism, the attitudes of different university bodies towards language education, and strategies for ensuring quality in plurilingual programs.
Higher Education as a multilingual and multicultural spacePascual Pérez-ParedesThe document discusses various aspects of higher education as a multilingual and multicultural space, highlighting contributions from several speakers at a roundtable in Madrid.

Jornada lectura lit. infantil September 28, 2011Pascual Pérez-ParedesEl documento resume los resultados de un proyecto europeo sobre el aprendizaje y la enseñanza de la literatura infantil en primaria. Se encuestó a niños y profesores de España, Inglaterra, Islandia y Turquía sobre sus hábitos de lectura, gustos literarios y percepciones del uso de la literatura en el aula. Los resultados mostraron diferencias entre países en cuanto a si les gusta leer a los niños y la frecuencia con que se les lee antes de dormir, así como en sus géneros y autores favoritos.
UK Comenius project dissemination eventPascual Pérez-Paredes1) This document summarizes a dissemination event for the Comenius Project, an international research project on children's literature involving Iceland, Spain, Turkey, and the UK.
2) Over 6,000 children and 250 teachers completed surveys about their reading habits and preferences, and researchers interviewed 150 children and teachers in each country.
3) The event included presentations on the research findings and strategies for teaching children's literature in the classroom, including a discussion from an Icelandic representative on vocabulary teaching.
4) Continuing professional development packs were developed based on the research to provide practical strategies for teachers.
What can a corpus tell us about discoursePascual Pérez-ParedesThe document discusses the concept of discourse, its multifaceted definitions, and how corpus linguistics can aid in understanding discourse features through quantitative analysis. It emphasizes the importance of context in interpreting discourse and outlines limitations of corpus methods, stressing that cohesive ties and semantic relationships are complex and not easily captured by quantitative data alone. Furthermore, it highlights practical steps for a corpus-based approach to discourse analysis and the significance of obtaining relevant texts for thorough examination.
Corpus linguistics and pragmaticsPascual Pérez-ParedesThis document discusses what corpora can tell us about pragmatics and outlines several pragmatic phenomena that can be studied using corpora. It defines pragmatics as the study of relationships between linguistic forms and their users, focusing on speaker meaning rather than sentence meaning. Corpora are textually limited as they lack valuable contextual information. However, corpora allow the study of conversational organization through turn-taking patterns and discourse markers. They also enable analysis of speech act expressions and how utterances perform actions. The document suggests future areas of research could examine multi-modal communication patterns between verbal and non-verbal choices such as prosody, emotions, and gestures.
What can a corpus tell us about registers and genres douglas biberPascual Pérez-ParedesText category is an important organizing principle in corpora. There are two main categories of text: register and genre. Register focuses on frequent linguistic features, while genre focuses on the rhetorical structure of complete texts. Most corpus studies take a register perspective because corpora are better designed for analyzing frequent features. Studies analyze linguistic variation between registers or features within a single register. Both spoken and written registers exist, and each display different linguistic characteristics.
Corpus linguistics and multi-word unitsPascual Pérez-Paredes1. Studies of multi-word units using corpus data have shown that language is highly phraseological in nature, with the majority of texts composed of common words following common patterns.
2. Research into n-grams and other multi-word units has enhanced our understanding of language, showing that most everyday words do not have independent meanings but rather contribute to the meaning of larger lexical units.
3. The study of multi-word units has implications for applied fields like lexicography, language teaching, and English for academic/specific purposes by providing insights into typical phraseologies used in different contexts and genres.
What can a corpus tell us about lexis (1)Pascual Pérez-ParedesThe document discusses how corpus data can enhance our understanding of lexis, exploring individual lexical items and broader lexical patterns. It delves into various aspects such as the composition of the central lexicon, word formation, collocation, and the relationship between context and meaning. Additionally, it examines the differences between spoken and written lexis and the role of corpus data in analyzing synonyms, antonyms, idioms, and pragmatic functions.
Boundaries and bridges in a European children’s literature projectPascual Pérez-ParedesThis document summarizes a Comenius Project that investigated children's literature across four European countries. The project aimed to compare how children's literature is used for reading, learning, and teaching. It surveyed children in the UK, Iceland, Spain, and Turkey about their reading habits and preferences. Key findings included surprising similarities in children's perceptions of themselves as readers across countries, despite geographical and population differences.

10. Meginniðurstöður
• Börn – nemendur
– Marktæk fylgni milli bókakosts á heimili og áhuga
barna á lestri. Bakgrunnsbreytan sem hefur mest áhrif
á svörun barna.
– Mikill meirihluti barna í Tyrklandi (80%) segist elska að
lesa en aðeins þriðjungur íslenskra barna
• Það kann að skýrast af orðalagi spurningar, við getum okkur
til að orðalagið að elska eitthvað hafi aðra merkingu hér á
landi en annarstaðar – nær lagi hefði verið að orða
svarmöguleikann á annan veg, t.d. líkar mjög vel.
– Mynd 12
11. frh
– Áhugi barna á lestri er nokkuð breytilegur eftir
landi, kyni og aldri. Stúlkur virðast áhugasamari
um lestur en drengir og þá virðist lestraráhugi
dvína eftir aldri.
• Mynd 13 og 14
– Um 7–10% nemenda, óháð landi, kyni eða aldri
hefur ekki áhuga á að lesa og við getum okkur
þess til að það séu börn sem eigi við
lestrarerfiðleika að stríða þótt fleiri skýringar kunni
að vera á því.
12. frh
– Börnin lesa að meðaltali rúman hálftíma á dag,
þau eldri aðeins lengur en þau yngri. Athygli vekur
að íslensku börnin eru barna óvissust um þann
tíma sem þau verja í lestur á dag – um helmingur
segist ekki átta sig á því.
• Mynd 16 og 17
– Líklega er lestur í fastari skorðum annars staðar –
lestur sem hefur tíma og stað
– Íslensku börnin lesa frekar að eigin frumkvæði eða
ekki eins venjubundið og börn annars staðar.
13. frh
– Íslensk börn virðast oftast barnanna venja komur
sínar á bókasöfn, einkum til að velja sér bækur.
Mjög fá börn á Íslandi fara ekki á bókasafn –
aðeins um 10% miðað við um 25–30% barna
annars staðar.
• Mynd 19
– Aðgengi að almenningsbókasöfnum og
skólabókasöfnum hér á landi virðist mjög gott,
sérstaklega þegar miðað er við Tyrkland
14. frh
– Niðurstöður sýna að börn eru mjög sjálfstæð hvað val
lesefnis varðar.
• Mynd 20
– Mestur áhugi á lesefni á áhugasviði, skemmtilegt efni,
efni sem þau þekkja, t.d. bókaflokka eða höfunda.
• Mynd 18, 23, 24
– Meirihluti sækir í að lesa aftur bækur sem þau hafa
lesið, til að endurnýja upplifun sína og þá segjast þau
læra eitthvað nýtt.
• Mynd 21 og 22 og opin svör
• Rannsóknir benda til þess að endurlestur geti eflt
lestraröryggi yngri nemenda auk þess sem upplifunin getur
styrkt skemu sem nemandi byggir upp í huga sér af efninu
15. frh
– Börn vilja bækur sem leika á tilfinningastrengina
• Kitla hláturtaugar, eru ánægjulegar og spennandi
• Þar sem þau upplifa sögupersónur sem vini
• Ævintýri, fantasíur, skemmtilegar sögur
• Mynd 25 og 29
– Sögupersónur geta verið alls konar
• Töfraverur, ævintýraverur
• Dýr
• Önnur börn
– Stúlkur vilja frekar að það séu stúlkur og drengir vilja að það séu
drengir
• Mynd 26 og 27
16. frh
– Mikill meirihluti barna (minnst 70% og mest 96%)
hefur yndi af að vinna með barnabókmenntir sem
efnivið í skólastarfi.
• Þeim finnst þau auka veraldlega þekkingu sína, fá nýjar
hugmyndir til að hugsa um og læra ný orð
• Mynd 33
– Íslensk börn skrifa sjaldnar (ríflega 50%) um það sem
þau lesa í skólanum en börn í hinum löndunum
þremur (80–90%).
• Þarf ekki að þýða að minni áhersla sé lögð á ritun hér en
annarstaðar en bókmenntir virðast alla vega ekki vera
efniviður eða grunnur að ritun í jafn ríkum mái hérlendis
– Hvað segið þið um það?
17. frh
– Athygli vekur að íslensk börn virðast síður en
önnur börn telja sig læra að mynda sér skoðanir á
lesefni, að lesa fjölbreytt efni, að tengja saman
mismunandi lesefni og finnast lesturinn gagnlegur
• Mynd 34, sjá öll löndin
– Ástæðan hlýtur að tengjast vinnubrögðum í
skólanum, þ.e. hvernig unnið er með bókmenntir
og texta.
– Eða hvað segið þið?
18. Umræða
• Hvernig viljið þið túlka í heild niðurstöður hér
að framan með lestrarhvetjandi eða
læsisstyðjandi umhverfi í huga?
– Ræðið 2 til 4 saman og hafið þess vegna í huga
draumaskóla eða draumaaðstæður.
– Setjið saman stutta greinargerð – yfirlýsingu eða
stefnumörkun (þið getið tínt fleira til en
niðurstöður úr rannsókninni).
• Hafið skoðanir! Takið afstöðu!
19. frh
• Kennarar
– Í öllum löndunum lesa kennarar oft og títt fyrir nemendur
sína, einkum í því skyni að efla áhuga þeirra á lestri.
• Mynd 44, 63
– Þeir segja auk þess að nemendur lesi mikið í skólanum
• Mynd 62
– Kennurum finnst mikilvægt að lesa og kynna bækur sem
breikka sjóndeildarhring barnanna, sem efla hugsanlega
skilning barna á sjálfum sér, fela í sér siðferðileg og
tilfinningaleg leiðarstef og yfirhöfuð að börn kynnist
góðum bókmenntum.
• Mynd 50, 51, 52, 53
20. frh
– Kennarar nota barnabókmenntir einnig til:
• Að efla orðaforða barna (sérstaklega á Íslandi), efla
leikni í tungumálinu, kenna lestur, efla lesskilning og til
skemmtunar
• Mynd 44
– Oft marktækur munur milli landa, stundum eftir kyni og aldri
– Íslenskir kennarar og eldri kennarar líklegri en þeir
yngri til að mæla með bókum eftir höfunda sem
taka á málefnum er varða börn
• Mynd 58
21. frh
– Kennarar telja almennt að kennarar og foreldrar beri
ábyrgð á að efla áhuga barna á bókmenntum og lestri
en kennarar á Spáni, í Englandi og í Tyrklandi telja að
fleiri bera slíka ábyrgð, s.s. systkini, fjölmiðlar,
bekkjarfélagar og vinir – en undir það taka ekki
íslenskir kennarar.
• Myndir 65, 66, 67, 69, 70
• Þennan mun er mjög áhugavert að skoða frekar – er talið að
ábyrgð helstu forsjáraðila barna firri aðra ábyrgð hérlendis?
Er litið frekar á þetta sem samábyrgð annars staðar?
– Hvað haldið þið?
22. frh
– Á Englandi og Spáni tengja kennarar notkun
barnabókmennta við ákvæði námskrár (96–100%)
en einungis ríflega helmingur kennara á Íslandi og í
Tyrklandi.
– Er ástæða til að skýra stöðu barnabókmennta í
námi og kennslu í aðalnámskrá?
23. frh
– Enskir kennarar virðast nota barnabókmenntir
með fjölbreyttari hætti en aðrir kennarar.
– Aðrir kennarar virðast leggja höfuðáherslu á
lesskilning og þætti er varða lesturinn sjálfan en
enskir kennarar nota efniviðinn til að víkka
sjóndeildarhring barna, efla sjálfskilning þeirra og
tengja börn og veruleika þeirra við bókmenntir.
24. frh
– Tyrknesku kennararnir fá minni fræðslu um
barnabókmenntir í sínu kennaranámi eða í
gegnum sí- og endurmenntun að námi loknu. Þeir
eru auk þess yngri og reynsluminni en aðrir
kennarar.
• Myndir 38, 39 og 41, 42
• Kennarar fræðast um bókmenntir og kennslu í
kennaranámi og sí- og endurmenntun. Hvernig er því
háttað hér á landi að ykkar mati? Hvaða fræðslu hafið
þið t.d. fengið eða sjáið fram á að fá?
25. frh
– Íslensku kennararnir virðast fylgjast mjög vel með
útgáfu barnabóka og kynna sér þær – mun frekar
en aðrir kennarar.
• Frétta af þeim, lesa bæklinga ..
• Lesa bækurnar
– Aðeins ríflega helmingur íslensku kennaranna
segja að í skólastofunum séu leskrókar eða leshorn
en slíkt virðist nánast alsiða í hinum löndunum
þremur (yfir 90%).
• Mynd 55
26. frh
• Hugleiðingar um
– lestur, áhugahvöt, lestrarhvetjandi
umhverfi/skilyrði
– aðferðir til að efla samræðu til náms, ritun,
lesskilning og orðaforða
– Draumaskólinn? Hvernig býr hann að þessu?
