Abstract

This article primarily deals with building and using a type of language corpus - the learner corpus - for multilingual teaching. It describes all relevant aspects of the con- ceptualization, motivation and construction of learner corpora including the case ex- ample of the German learner corpus FALKO (Fehlerannotiertes Lernerkorpus ‘error annotated learner corpus’). In addition we discuss the possibility of a learner corpus for the Georgian language using examples from real Georgian language courses at Goethe University Frankfurt and Tbilisi State University. The article stresses the po- tential of learner corpora for multilingual teaching and multilingual teacher education.
