The primary purpose of this project was to build a copyright-free database of sample sentences containing essential lexical items created by well-trained native speakers, for use by Japanese college level EFL learners. The database includes a user-friendly browsing function. The original plan intended to add another service, through which users could inquire about native speakers'judgment on the appropriateness of particular English sentences in which they are interested.The database could contribute to EFL teaching and learning in at least the three following domains : (1) EFL teachers and material developers could use those sample sentences in their classroom activities or material development without potential risk of copyright violation, (2) EFL learners could have easily access sample sentences appropriate to their level, and consequently receive a large amount of authentic input, owing to the browsing function, and (3) researchers of EFL and second language acquisition could obta … More in insight on the effects of the systems of this kind by investigating EFL learners'patterns of accessing current system and by conducting comparative experiments between classes with and without access to the system.Though the function for sentence appropriateness judgment has not been actualized yet, the project has succeeded in creating a database consisting of five modules : Sample sentences for essential lexical items based on JACET 8000 words, sentences with high probability of errors, model paragraphs of 500 words each, model essays, and a parallel corpus composed of learner-produced sentences with native speaker corrections. The browsing system, chiefly for the parallel corpus yet applicable to the other components, has also been developed. In addition to these five major components, a multilingual sample sentence component specialized for a particular adverb-adjective pattern has also been added to the system as a result of the exploration of possibly extending the original system to a multilingual environment.The project team has been very active in related research activities including presentations at various academic conferences and publishing many papers. In addition, the team has held many lecture conferences by inviting experts on the issues of copyright, parallel corpus, corpus linguistics, generative grammar, EFL writing, pragmatics, and so forth. Moreover, the team has organized a workshop on corpus linguistics-oriented applications and statistics every summer for the last three years. Less

本项目的主要目的是建立一个无版权的样本句子数据库，其中包含由训练有素的母语者创建的基本词汇，供日本大学水平的EFL学习者使用。该数据库包括用户友好的浏览功能。原计划增设另一项服务，让使用者可查询母语人士对他们感兴趣的英语句子的适切性的判断。资料库至少可在以下三个范畴为英语教学作出贡献：（一）英语教师和教材开发者可以在课堂活动或教材开发中使用这些例句，而不会有潜在的风险。（2）由于浏览功能的存在，英语学习者可以很容易地获得与其水平相适应的例句，从而获得大量的真实输入;（3）英语和第二语言习得研究者可以获得与其水平相适应的例句。 ...更多信息 通过调查英语学习者使用该系统的方式以及在使用该系统的班级和未使用该系统的班级之间进行对比实验，了解该系统的效果。虽然句子合适性判断功能尚未实现，但该项目已经成功地建立了一个由五个模块组成的数据库：基于JACET 8000个单词的基本词汇的样本句子，错误概率高的句子，每个500个单词的模型段落，模型文章，以及由学习者生成的句子与母语者更正组成的平行语料库。同时还开发了主要针对平行语料库的浏览系统，该系统也适用于其他组件。除了这五个主要组件外，为了探索将原系统扩展到多语言环境的可能性，还增加了专门针对特定副词-形容词模式的多语言例句组件。项目组一直积极开展相关研究活动，包括在各种学术会议上发表演讲和发表多篇论文。此外，该团队还多次邀请版权、平行语料库、语料库语言学、生成语法、英语写作、语用学等方面的专家参加讲座。此外，在过去的三年里，该团队每年夏天都会组织一次关于语料库语言学应用和统计的研讨会。少
