Data Driven Learning (DDL)• In DDL, a student has access to a large body of
authentic language, from which s/he can extract language items in context. (Boulton, 2011)• The student is a language “research worker”
(Johns, 1994).• An A to Z of Technology for EAP (Watson,
Professional Issues Meeting at Southampton 2012)• no mention of DDL...

Learning Collocations in FLAX: in response to ‘where are the good published
collocations resources?’
• Research shows that the successful use of collocations in student writing and speaking supports not only improved levels of accuracy but also improved levels of fluency in their use of English (Wray, 2002; Nesselhauf, 2003).
• Constraints with published collocations resources– Publication issues = the number and specificity of
collocations examples that can be assigned to print and CD-ROM formats.

The BAWE collections in FLAX: moving away from mutt genres with digitally
enhanced and authentic genres
• “ ‘mutt genres’—genres that do not respond to rhetorical situations requiring communication in order to accomplish a purpose that is meaningful to the author” (Wardell, 2009).
• “Unsurprisingly, the utility of the corpus is increased when it has been annotated, making it no longer a body of text where linguistic information is implicitly present, but one which may be considered a repository of linguistic information.” (ICT4LT, Module 3.4 Corpus Linguistics http://www.ict4lt.org/en/en_mod3-4.htm)

“In the late 19th century Oxford was one of the pioneers of the university extension movement, which enabled audiences around the UK to hear what some of its lecturers had to say on a wide range of topics. The OpenSpires project is the 21st century equivalent, though, with the benefit of the web, the audiences are now global and we hope even more diverse. It is a pleasure to contribute to this important venture, which is opening up Oxford like never before”.(McDonald, n.d.)
