9781441182111: New Trends in Corpora and Language Learning (Corpus and Discourse)

Synopsis

In this collection we see how corpora can bring benefits to students in such diverse areas as translation studies, academic writing and general language education. The chapters also remind us of how valuable it is to use corpus tools to investigate learner language and - centrally - of how and why one might put the tools for investigating language corpora into the hands of learners themselves. This is essential reading for language teachers and researchers with an interest in the direction of travel of corpus applications in language education. The volume helps us to understand where we have come from and points out those areas where we are likely to see the most value in future work in the investigation and use of corpus data in foreign language teaching and learning.
