An Corpas Cliste: creating a learner corpus for Irish from a new, purpose-built iCALL platform
Neasa Ní Chiaráin · 2022
An Corpas Cliste (‘Clever Corpus’) is an Irish language learner corpus. The corpus data comes from a purpose-built intelligent Computer Assisted Language Learning (iCALL) platform called An Scéalaí (‘the Storyteller’) and comprises both audio and text, produced by second and third level learners of Irish. Metadata (e.g. L1, level of Irish, dialect preference, age) is saved with every learner account, along with data on platform engagement (e.g. speech/language technologies employed, time spent on task). This paper illustrates how An Corpas Cliste is structured and is being prepared for analysis and the methodologies and resources that are being used to exploit it with a view to enhancing the learning experience.
