Based on my corpus linguistic skills and experience as a foreign language educator, I develop digital resources to help teachers create more authentic and data-driven lessons. These resources use corpus linguistics to enable the integration of authentic language into classroom materials and to tailor students’ linguistic classroom input to support experiential learning.
My digital, interactive browser book for data-driven learning of academic German writing is now available for public use here.
Large digital collection of texts in simple German as a resource for data-driven language learning at low levels of proficiency (project website).
