A Free Online Parallel Corpus Construction Tool for Language Teachers and Learners

摘要

In this article we present a free online parallel corpus construction tool, the PENCIL tool (Pedagogy Enhancement through Corpora in Language learning), part of the SOURCe Project, a French-Greek parallel corpora collection developed for the University of Cyprus. The goal of this project is to provide an assistive and handy tool for teachers and learners, in order to be used as an Open Educational Resource. This tool enables users, who might not have the required programming skills, to create and customize web-based corpora, by uploading and aligning their own texts.
