It explores the development of a Chinese/English parallel corpus designed specifically for pedagogical application. The corpus tool was created to aid language learners in reading comprehension and writing development by making foreign language texts more accessible to them. The study follows the application of this parallel corpus in two beginning level high school Chinese classes and describes the experience of both instructor and students in implementing this technology. The positive learning outcomes observed through students improvement in comprehension and composition demonstrate the value of parallel corpora both as a pedagogical tool and innovative technology.  \nBackground  \nWritten language acquisition, as with all aspects of language learning, presents learners with many unique challenges. One of the primary struggles of written language acquisition is the problem of reading comprehension, particularly at the beginning level. Language learners are often limited in the selections of texts that are accessible to them, both physically and intellectually, as they strive to develop their reading and writing skills. Additionally, learners often struggle with sentence composition, especially when learning to use lexical items and grammatical structures that have multiple meanings and/or uses. These challenges can be observed among learners of any foreign language (FL), but are acutely transparent with learners of Chinese. The extensive number and relative complexity of individual Chinese characters, as well as the associated tonal pronunciation, among other features, create several obstacles that learners must face in studying the Chinese orthographic system (Norman, 1988) . The current article demonstrates how these challenges can be addressed through the use of parallel corpus technology.  \nIn recent years corpora have evolved into a more accepted and valued tool for both research and FL pedagogy. The continued expansion of corpus research has led to the development of many specialized corpora, and to diverse applications in using this technology. A more recent outgrowth of corpus research is the use of parallel corpora. Although parallel corpora have been used for over two decades in transla-  \n32 Dimension 2014  \ntion studies and comparative language research, their application in FL pedagogy is a more recent trend (McEnery & Xiao, 2008) . Studies suggest the apparent potential pedagogical value of parallel corpora (Fan & Xu, 2002; Johansson, 2009; Wang, 2001) . The research presented in this article builds upon these studies by demonstrating how parallel corpora can be incorporated in the classroom, focusing on the beginning level of language learning.  \nIn the present study, the researcher analyzed the application of a specialized parallel corpus in two beginning level high school Chinese classrooms. The corpus developed for this study was designed specifically as a pedagogical tool to help students develop their reading and writing ability in learning Chinese as a FL. The researcher created the Parallel Corpus Teaching Tool with assistance from a third party programmer. After reviewing several pedagogical studies using parallel corpora, the author describes the Parallel Corpus Teaching Tool, accessible at \u003C[www.parallelcor](www.parallelcor)[pus.com](pus.com)>. A detailed account is then given of how this corpus tool was incorporated into a high school Chinese FL classroom, and accounts for some of the struggles and the successes observed in adapting this parallel corpus in a beginning level FL class. The article explores the potential for pedagogical applications of parallel corpora, and discusses both the advantages and challenges o","cbCaikE1NTTddWwm","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikE1NTTddWwm","pdf",361845,18,"English","# Abstract\n# Background\n## Challenges in beginning-level written language acquisition\n# Parallel corpora in research and pedagogy\n## Specialized and parallel corpus development\n# Study design and classroom implementation\n## Parallel Corpus Teaching Tool\n# Literature Review\n## Definitions and distinctions among corpus types\n## Construction directions: unidirectional, bidirectional, multidirectional","[{\"question\":\"What is the main focus of the article?\",\"answer\":\"The article focuses on how incorporating parallel corpora can enhance written language acquisition for beginning-level foreign language learners, with emphasis on reading comprehension and writing development.\"},{\"question\":\"What was developed for the study?\",\"answer\":\"The study developed a Chinese/English parallel corpus and the Parallel Corpus Teaching Tool to make foreign-language texts more accessible for classroom learning.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the teaching tool implemented and evaluated?\",\"answer\":\"The researcher applied the parallel corpus tool in two beginning-level high school Chinese classes, documenting the instructor and students’ experiences and the observed improvements in comprehension and composition.\"}]","Learning in Parallel - Using Parallel Corpora to Enhance Written Language Acquisition at the Beginning Level | PDF",1792091135,45]
