The University of Pittsburgh English Language Institute Corpus

Also known as PELIC

The University of Pittsburgh English Language Institute Corpus (PELIC) is a 4.2-million-word learner corpus of written texts. These texts were collected in an English for Academic Purposes (EAP) context over seven years in the University of Pittsburgh’s Intensive English Program, and were produced by over 1100 students with a wide range of linguistic backgrounds and proficiency levels. PELIC is longitudinal, offering greater opportunities for tracking development in a natural classroom setting.
