Abstract:
This book provides an up-to-date snapshot of recent research and developmentsin the use of corpora for language learning and teaching. It is divided intothree parts. Part I focusses on innovative uses of corpora by languageteachers and learners. These cover the world's first corpus-based TVprogram for the teaching of English conversation, as well as corpus-basedapproaches to the teaching of EAP, cultural studies and translation. Part IIfocuses on new corpus-based tools for LSP learning. Part III illustratesresearch findings from corpora consisting of language learner data anddiscusses their implications for language teaching and learning. It willappeal to scholars in both language teaching and learning and corpus andcomputational linguistics.
"In this collection we see how corpora can bring benefits to students in suchdiverse areas as translation studies, academic writing and general languageeducation. The chapters also remind us of how valuable it is to use corpustools to investigate learner language and – centrally – of how and why onemight put the tools for investigating language corpora into the hands oflearners themselves. This is essential reading for language teachers andresearchers with an interest in the direction of travel of corpus applicationsin language education. The volume helps us to understand where we have comefrom and points out those areas where we are likely to see the most value infuture work in the investigation and use of corpus data in foreign languageteaching and learning."
