Abstract:

After decades of being overlooked, corpus evidence is becoming an
important component of the teaching and learning of languages. Above
all, the profession needs guidance in the practicalities of using
corpora, interpreting the results and applying them to the problems
and opportunities of the classroom. This book is intensely practical,
written mainly by a new generation of language teachers who are
acknowledged experts in central aspects of the discipline. It offers
advice on what to do in the classroom, how to cope with teachers'
queries about language, what corpora to use including learner corpora
and spoken corpora and how to handle the variability of language; it
reports on some current research and explains how the access software
is constructed, including an opportunity for the practitioner to write
small but useful programs; and it takes a look into the future of
corpora in language teaching.
