As I have briefly mentioned in class, I coordinate a project on learner English called CABRI (Corpus de Aprendizes Brasileiros de Inglês). This project is part of an international project called International Corpus of Learner English whose coordinator works at the University of Louvain in Belgium. The Brazilian part of it Br-ICLE. We do collect student essays and analyze them in order to better understand their necessities. This means that the more essays we have the more we can prepare suitable materials to our learners (including you and your UFMG mates).
I would like to ask you to read the power point presentation attached and if you have no questions (and if you have time too) you can turn in the essay on Oct. 21st. The deadline, though, is Oct. 28th. Therefore, I´ll be able to answer your questions about the essay writing and the form you need to fill in during our face-to-face class on Oct. 21st.
This essay is a class activity (our Task 9) and if you give me your permission it will be part of my research data. Please take into consideration that we will contribute to linguistic studies in Brazil and abroad.
Please check your e-mail to get three files: the guidelines for the essay you are supposed to write, the model of a filled out Learner Profile, and a Learner Profile which should be filled out, printed and turned in together with the essay.
The essay should be written on your own, though you can check dictionaries, grammar books, sites etc. as long as you put that information on the Learner Profile.
Best regards,
Deise Dutra
