As a starting point look at Granger S (ed.) 1997 Working with Learner Language Longman Harlow. You should also be aware of the forthcoming conference on Learner Corpora happening in Hong Kong later this year. Contact Sylvianne Granger (granger@etan.ucl.ac.be) for more information.
Also of interest is work being done in Poland on LC. Contact Przemyslaw Kaszubski [przemka@main.amu.edu.pl]

Greetings,
I'm involved in a project to develop a corpus of students' English (primary and secondary, written and spoken) and would like to hear from anyone else who has undertaken (or is underaking) such a venture. I'm also interested in details of specific research projects which colleagues have done using learner corpora (any language). Any references, leads, comments, advice, etc. gratefully received.
Of course, I'll be happy to summarise feedback for this list.
Regards,
