The EFL P.Æ.C.E. Corpus is a collection of authentic, anonymous, class-driven, bilingual texts (Italian-English) gathered for five consecutive years at university level. The texts allow readers to experience individual learners’ microcosm(s) illustrating their sets of beliefs, preferences (P), expectations and hopes (Æ), certainties (C), and emotions (E). Students describe who they think they are, who they would like to be, and who they visualize themselves to be within the unobtrusive frame that the data collecting protocol provides. P.Æ.C.E. is an innovative contribution to the field of language and linguistics. It is of interest for researchers and language specialists who want to maximize their potential.
