Building a Corpus for Teaching and Learning a Second Language by Using Sketch Engine

Original language description

It is well acknowledged that corpus linguistics has significant impacts on not only the modes of language use and communication but also the supply of authentic materials collected by digital devices. This chapter introduces the building of a corpus for the purpose of learning and teaching a second language in the digital technology era where its application in the language learning and teaching becomes more and more popular. As technology continues to advance, the synergy between corpora and digital tools will likely play an even more significant role in teaching and learning a language since the corpora use is regarded as a new tool to supply teachers with authentic data of language structures and encourage the students’ self-study since they can delve into language features of a determined corpus. Thus, it is necessary to master the way how to create a corpus that might help learners and teachers deal with the authentic resources’ use in a second language acquisition. This chapter first introduces why the corpus-based approach is crucial in applied linguistics and language education before classifying various types of corpora based on different approaches. It then discusses advantages of using corpora in teaching and learning a second language and presents methods of building a corpus. It finally provides some practical tasks of building and applying a corpus in learning and teaching English after illustrating the application of a corpus in a second language lesson.
