Teaching Syntax with Clarin Corpora and Resources
Abstract
The recent COVID-19 pandemic has brought online learning to the forefront for learners and
teachers. As a consequence, the demand for self-paced and adaptive learning resources has
reached unprecedented levels. Prior to the virus outbreak and consecutive lockdowns, universities
had been using Moodle (and other SCORM1 compliant platforms) as a Learning Management
System (LMS), which has helped make the transition from on-site to online learning. But teach-
ers still have had to face the challenge of designing and implementing assessment activities in
the form of self-correcting activities (true/false, multiple answer questions, mark the words, fill in
the blanks questions, etc.), instead of plain printed quizzes and tests. This step has proved to be a
major hurdle since designing, and most of all, manually editing formative and evaluative assess-
ment activities is a very labor-intensive task. In this article, we present a framework that builds
upon corpora and resources available from the LINDAT / CLARIAH-CZ Data & Tools platform
in order to generate quizzes and other activities related to syntax, for the Moodle platform. After
some background on using Natural Language Processing (NLP) and electronic corpora for teach-
ing syntax, we present our corpus-to-quiz processing chain, and we outline preliminary results
on deploying automatically generated French syntax quizzes in the classroom.
