This hands-on workshop will guide teachers through several applications for online corpus analysis tools. It will include three types of activities useful in teaching practice and in research such as: diagnostic exercises, using Range to investigate materials for teaching and to help with curriculum development choices, tools for comparing texts, and a simulation of a short research project. Participants are encouraged, but not required to bring texts they would like to investigate in plaintext files (.txt) format. All other materials will be provided.
