The MICASE Corpus tracked spoken English in a variety of university settings - lectures, language labs, advising sessions, department meetings, etc. The MICASE Handbook consists of a set of abstracts of each of the 152 speech events in the original MICASE database. The abstracts, ranging from 150 to 350 words, provide contextual background on each of the speech events of the corpus so that teachers can get a quick overview of content and important interactional features of each event.
