Abstract:

Unlock the potential of corpus linguistics for language learning

This textbook will help you unlock and access the great potential of corpus
linguistics for language learning. While other books discuss how instructors
may implement corpora in the classroom, this book provides step-by-step
illustrated examples to help learners, graduate students, and language
instructors visualize and understand the potential of corpus linguistics for
language learning. It guides you through the application of corpus searches
for writing, vocabulary and cultural study and provides guidance on building
your own corpus. The hands-on approach will strengthen your development into
an autonomous language learner and help instructors learn to design and
implement their own corpus activities. With tutorials on a range of popular
and increasingly user-friendly corpora, it helps usher in a new era of
corpus-aided language learning.
