Abstract
Students write numerous essays over the course of a semester or academic year. Often they are examined as isolated pieces of writing, but collectively they can provide valuable insight to support student learning. The presenters demonstrate how to create a corpus from student-generated written work and analyze lexical and grammatical forms in that corpus to inform future instruction. Such data-driven decision-making allows teachers to adjust pedagogical practices to meet students’ specific needs, using free and easy to use corpus analysis programs.
