ABSTRACT
Alannah’s project ran from 11th January 2011 until the 1st May 2012, the aim of the project was to look at uses for research corpora in developing OER for academic English language teaching and learning. Along with other open corpus-based projects, another focus of TOETOE was the promotion of the FLAX (Flexible Language Acquisition project) collections, featuring open source software text analysis tools that effectively combine both open and proprietary English language content.
