Description	This paper investigates the development of syntactic complexity in students’ (n=18) written discourse using a learner corpus in the context of a blended course of English whose target level was the CEFR A2 level. In this theory-driven descriptive case study, student texts written in specially devised online discussion tasks were used as a basis for compiling a small-scale learner corpus. By comparing three measures of syntactic complexity (coordination, subordination and clause length), the development of student interlanguage was described. At the end of the course, students used less coordination, more subordination and longer clauses, which indicates the development of syntactic complexity. The study confirms that social cognitive theories can be used in the teaching of writing,and offers a methodological framework for compiling and annotating learner corpora from computer-mediated discussions at lower proficiency levels.
