Learner corpora have been used extensively in corpus research to identify gaps and errors within learner writing but have rarely been directly used in corpus-informed instruction (CII). Importantly, scholars in CII have pointed out that "it is as important to see what learners can do as well as what they can't" when using learner corpora…

Therefore, we wondered how many errors second language…
