The Primary English Classroom Corpus (PECC)

The Primary English Classroom Corpus (PECC) offers authentic classroom discourse of early foreign language teaching in German primary school classrooms and presents the data in form of a text corpus. Each transcript shows the interaction during an English lesson, focusing on the verbal aspects of communication between the teacher and the pupils. The corpus provides a window into classroom-based teaching and learning, a rich database to study the communicative processes and products of primary school English language teaching and a tool to reflect on the micro-realities of early foreign language classrooms.
