Cambridge Learner Corpus

The Cambridge Learner Corpus (CLC) is a large collection of exam scripts written by learners of English taking Cambridge ESOL exams (25 million words). It currently contains scripts from 85,000 students from 180 different countries and 100 different first languages. It forms part of the Cambridge International Corpus (CIC).
Each script contains information about the student's first language, nationality, level of English, age, etc.

An interesting feature of the corpus is that approximately 13 million words (about 45,000 scripts) have been annotated with a Learner Error Coding system. This makes it possible to extract and analyze the words or structures that produce the most errors in Learner English. It is also possible to search for particular errors and find many examples.

This corpus is expanding all the time.
