【课程简介】
本课程是为外语教师、研究生及高年级本科生设计的“量化工具使用”入门课程。课程选取“词汇工具”“句法工具”和“篇章工具”，进行讲解与示范。
- “词汇工具：词汇基准研制”，讲解如何使用Range和Sketch Engine来统计词频、制作词表及检索例句等；
- “句法工具：句法自动分析”，特邀美国宾夕法尼亚州立大学陆小飞博士讲解并演示“句法复杂度分析器”；
- “篇章工具：文本难度评估”，介绍“英语文本指难针”，并讲解如何使用Coh-Metrix进行多维度特征分析。
课程旨在帮助学员学会形成自己的研究问题，并针对研究问题采用合适的研究工具收集数据、分析数据并撰写报告，从而做到用好工具、做好研究并写好文章。

【专家评语】
It has been very heartening to hear that Tan and his colleagues’ online course on quantitative methods has been well-received by college teachers and postgraduate students in China. To further support the learning of quantitative methods, Tan has launched another new online course – this time relating to using software packages in the field of applied linguistics. In this new venture, Tan has invited a scholar from Pennsylvania State University, Dr Xiaofei Lu, to join in the development of the course.
The course introduces the principles and practice of computer-assisted data analysis, covering both established and newly-developed software packages. The software packages covered include Range, Sketch Engine, L2 Syntactic Complexity Analyzer, English Text Complexity Assessor and Coh-Metrix.
In teaching the course, Tan and Xiaofei guide participants through three well-structured phases, outlining how the software packages may be used for different purposes and in different contexts.
Phase 1 establishes key concepts and specifies the background knowledge and theory underpinning each software package.
Phase 2 demonstrates a step-by-step operation process for each software package.
Phase 3 recommends potential research topics for future explorations.
Given the success and take-up of Tan's first venture into online programme delivery, I am sure that this new online venture will benefit teachers and postgraduate students even more – this time about using software packages.
