[2] One unpublished MA thesis (Jordan, 1993), Concordancers: Research findings and learner processes, speculates on the possible processes in use by learners in light of SLA theory, but does not report on any studies of learner processes while engaged in KWIC work. The research findings mentioned in Jordan's title are those of relevance to descriptive linguists, not SLA researchers. Other authors discuss practical issues of where and how concordancers have been used for language learning (see e.g., the proceedings of the TALC, Teaching and Language Corpora, conferences from 1994, 1996, and 1998), but, again, no formal studies of the effects of working with various KWIC concordancing task types on second language acquisition have been reported.
