Learners (N=39) were introduced to the EcoLexicon corpus and\u0000 trained to use its basic query tools. The rationale behind this activity was\u0000 to introduce learners to contextualization patterns and genre-specific\u0000 features of the professional target language, which in its turn would ensure\u0000 acceptability and appropriateness of their linguistic choices. The learners\u0000 were offered a series of guided and independent tasks on terminology\u0000 disambiguation and corpus-assisted speech production. At the end of the\u0000 semester a survey was administered to the students to assess their\u0000 perception of hands-on corpus experience. Descriptive statistics show\u0000 preliminary evidence that corpus tools provide illuminating data, foster\u0000 understanding of nuances within synonymous groups of words, and increase\u0000 overall language awareness. However, hands-on Data Driven Learning (DDL)\u0000 experience presented a few challenges which, however, may be remedied by\u0000 careful design of teaching materials and assignments.","PeriodicalId":302354,"journal":{"name":"CALL for widening participation: short papers from EUROCALL 2020","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124091400","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In a\u0000 preliminary experiment, 37 English learners with different cultural\u0000 backgrounds created a scenario, specific to their culture, and provided\u0000 proper/improper communicative choices as well as cultural-related notes.\u0000 Scenarios were then exchanged to those of different cultures for\u0000 role-playing and decision-making. Results highlighted the influence of L1\u0000 culture and stereotyping when facing an unfamiliar cultural context, thus\u0000 leading to culturally unacceptable behavior.

By\u0000 demonstrating that the learner-to-learner interaction evoked by this game\u0000 can set in motion multiple processes linked to L2 development, the results\u0000 suggest that the game, as well as others that make use of a similar\u0000 information-gap mechanic, could be effectively put to use for language\u0000 learning and teaching purposes in a variety of formal and informal\u0000 educational contexts.","PeriodicalId":302354,"journal":{"name":"CALL for widening participation: short papers from EUROCALL 2020","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116596375","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
