    Dear Mark,

    There is web site called ERA Educational Research Abstracts. You can use it
    free for a 24 hour trial. I typed in second language acquisition AND
    children and got 718 hits. So I don't have time to go through them all :-),
    but you might find something there.

    Best wishes,

    Thanks to the 5-6 people who have already responded to my previous query
    regarding non-English learner corpora. I should have specified that I'm
    looking for *L2* corpora -- i.e. corpora of (preferably) teenagers or
    adults learning Spanish, French, Russian, etc -- rather than corpora of
    L1 acquisition of these languages by children.

    In other words, something like ICLE
    (http://www.fltr.ucl.ac.be/fltr/germ/etan/cecl/Cecl-Projects/Icle/icle.h
    tm), but for a language other than English.

    Thanks again.
