Compiling Learner Corpus Data of Linguistic Output and Language Processing in Speaking, Listening, Writing, and Reading

A learner’s language data of speaking, writing, listening, and reading have been compiled for a learner corpus in this study. The language data consist of linguistic output and language processing. Linguistic output refers to data of pronunciation, sentences, listening comprehension rate, and reading comprehension rate. Language processing refers to processing time and learners’ self-judgment of their difficulty of processing in speaking, listening, and reading and the fluency of their writing. This learner corpus will contribute to making the language learning process more clearly visible.
