The Importance and Effective Usage of Corpus Linguistics in EFL Classes

Abstract

In recent years, corpus-based technologies have received unprecedented expansion and development. Along these discoveries, corpora have extended into various educational contexts, mainly in language teaching and learning. Scientific researches showed that the course was able to expand on the teachers’ conceptual and pedagogical knowledge of corpora. Furthermore, the language gradually engaged in further use of corpora in their classes, which was realized in multiple corpus-initiated practical efforts. More specifically, we focus on the investigations which investigated the direct and indirect contributions of corpus-based approach to foreign language teaching and language teacher education.
