Abstract

The Uppsala Student English Project (USE) is a recent project at the Department of English, Uppsala University. The project has two main aims: to create a learner corpus, and to use this corpus for research and course development. This paper presents the composition of the corpus and reports on the on-going compilation process. It is shown that the corpus offers data suitable for parallel group and longitudinal comparisons. Furthermore, the paper points at various ways in which the corpus can be exploited for research, teaching, course evaluation and course development.
