VAT) Abstract: Derived from the successful International Seminar on Corpus Linguistics, New Trends in Language Teaching and Translation Studies: In Honour of John Sinclair (Granada, September 2008), organised by the research groups ADELEX (Assessing and Developing Lexical Competence) and ECPC (European Comparable and Parallel Corpora), seven contributions from well-known scholars in the field focus their attention on recent advances made in Corpus Linguistics in Language Teaching. The first four chapters deal with more practical issues of applying corpora to language learning and teaching, examining particularly the integration of data-driven learning and different types of corpora including pedagogical, spoken multimedia and parallel. The last three chapters are concerned more with corpus-based research for language teaching arguing for more refined statistical methodology, comparing conversational features of the British National Corpus with a micro-corpus of movies and forwarding the case for research into corpus-based, meaning-oriented multimodal annotation, respectively. This volume is homage to John Sinclair's academic legacy and the groundbreaking work which continues to honour his name.

Throughout, problems with terminology, such as overuse by teachers and cases of synonymy and polysemy, are considered and solutions are offered. Part One looks firstly at some basic concepts, then draws important distinctions between pedagogic and scientific terminology, and between transparent, opaque and iconic terms, before examining the historical, lexical and grammatical nature of terms. Part Two attempts to estimate the value and relevance of terminology in language teaching and describes the use and knowledge of terminology in various language-teaching-related constituencies: learners, teachers, textbooks, grammars and research. It concludes with a discussion of the criteria for evaluating terms and an analysis of terms used in ELT. Contents: Pedagogic and scientific terminology - Types of terms - The development of terms - The lexis of terms - The grammar of terms - The place of terminology in language teaching - Terminology and learners' knowledge - Terminology and teachers - Terminology in pedagogic grammars - Grammatical terminology in textbooks - Terminology in research and testing - Evaluating terms: some criteria for the selection of terms - A metalingual analysis of English grammatical terms. Roger Berry has been involved in English language teaching as a teacher, writer, teacher-trainer and lecturer for over thirty years. He has published and edited numerous articles and several books on English Grammar, language teaching, terminology and language awareness. He has taught in many parts of the world; currently he is at Lingnan University in Hong Kong.
