Introduction to Transcription  
   
Scope of transcription in the Multimedia Adult English Learner Corpus
 
  • Half of all recorded classes are coded
  • Approximately ten minutes of each coded class is transcribed
  • Transcription priority is given to pair activities
 
Design considerations
Three main considerations guided our development of a transcript
 
  • Transcribing in an complex ESL classroom environment
  • Transcribing emergent learner language
  • Producing a transcript from a database
