This paper describes a framework for the annotation of discourse which consists of the combination of software tools and a tagset. Its main purpose is to create small corpora for action-research projects conducted by Second of Foreign Language teachers, including Content and Language Integrated Learning, in their classrooms. The framework intends to be a solution for this particular situation, which requires a high level of simplicity. Although in the literature of Corpus Linguistics there are some good frameworks and tagsets for the annotation of corpora, they are usually too complex for teachers who are not experts either in Corpus Linguistics or Discourse Analysis.
