Corpus Description

>semi-structured oral interviews
picture-based oral narratives
argumentative writing (a timed 150-word response to a stimulus question).

The corpus includes data from all six administrations of these tasks to the L2 Spanish group, plus data from the L1 speakers of Spanish. Anonymised audio files and linked transcripts in CHAT format are provided for the oral interview and narrative tasks.

The instruments used in LANGSNAP for L2 data collection are available in the IRIS repository together with the instruments developed for tracking language use (Language Engagement Questionnaire) and social networking (Social Networking Questionnaire). Further details on LANGSNAP tasks and procedures are available at http://langsnap.soton.ac.uk and in our 2017 book.
