The Great Beyond
• Prising open research corpora with OER for ELT
– FLAX collections with the BNC, BAWE, Wikimedia, Google N-grams
– SPINDLE podcast corpora (OER audio/video + transcripts)
• More language samples than the textbook and the dictionary
– More powerful = more examples of language in use across a range of
linked authentic language contexts
– More user-friendly than the standard concordancer interface
– More OER for learners and teachers
• Independent study resources
• Pathways for crowd-sourcing the development of OER collections
• New audiences – linking formal and informal learning
– TTV, BALEAP, IATEFL, OCWC, OERu
