Two significant language corpora, the Michigan Corpus of Spoken Academic English (MICASE), and the Michigan Corpus of Upper-Level Student Papers (MICUSP) were developed at the English Language Institute. Teachers and researchers across the world use these historically important collections of language for linguistic analysis, classroom activities, and materials development.

Below are links to ELI corpus materials, which are all freely available for study, research and teaching. For inquiries about possible commercial uses of these materials, please contact U-M's Office of Innovation Partnerships (innovationpartnerships@umich.edu). See the MICASE and MICUSP fair use statements for addtional information, including preferred citations for both corpora.

SUPPORTING MATERIALS FOR TEACHERS, RESEARCHERS, AND LEARNERS

These resources include Kibbitzers*, conference presentations, and other small research projects that that draw on data from MICASE and MICUSP to provide pedagogically-relevant insights into important features of advanced student academic speech and academic writing.

*Note from John Swales: Kibbitzer is a Yiddish term for a person who offers opinions. It was adopted by Tim Johns of the University of Birmingham, UK, who was a pioneer in computer-aided language learning. He used it for short explorations of written academic English. We adapt it here for spoken academic English as well.

Archived Michigan Corpus Website

Additional supporting materials for teachers, learners, and researchers are available at the archived Michigan Corpus Linguistics website. NOTE: This is not an active site and is not maintained by the ELI or University of Michigan, so some pages and resources are not accesible.

Reader's Theater Scripts and Plays

Readers Theater is a dramatic presentation of a written work in a script form. Readers read from a "script" and reading parts are divided among the readers. No memorization, costumes, blocking, or special lighting is needed. Presentations can easily be done in a k-3 classroom. Scripts are held by the readers. Lines are not memorized. The focus is on reading the text with expressive voices and gestures. Making comprehending the text meaningful and fun for the student! Once you start Reader's Theater in your classroom you and your students will be loving it!!!

"Reader's Theater proved to be almost a magic solution for Griffith: In just 10 weeks of using RT, every child in her class had gained a full grade level in reading. After a year, the children's gains had jumped to three years of growth. Griffith calls the transformation in their reading fluency totally remarkable." Quote taken from The Power of Reader's Theater, Scholastic Instructor
