The MICASE Handbook: A Resource for Users of the Michigan Corpus of Academic Spoken English is designed to provide teachers, researchers, and students with a tool for navigating and effectively utilizing the online corpus of academic speech developed by the English Language Institute at the University of Michigan (www.hti.umich.edu/m/micase).

The MICASE Handbook includes:
* abstracts of all 152 speech events included in the corpus
* speech events organized by type of speech event, academic division, interactivity rating, participant level, and characteristics of the primary speaker
* guidelines for developing pedagogical materials and sample MICASE-based instructional materials.
