Description

Appropriate for both practicing teachers and students enrolled in Masters degree programs in TESOL and Applied Linguistics, Using Corpora in the Classroom is designed to help teachers bring the resources of corpora and hands-on learning with authentic materials into the language classroom. This accessible and innovative publication provides background and principled instructions for creating corpora and a range of materials and activities to address specific class needs, as well as detailed examples of corpus-based activities and materials including case studies. It provides specific instructions on the use of existing internet corpus resources, such as frequency lists and sample concordance lines as a springboard for activities. The companion web site gives readers access to new sources of information for using corpora in the classroom; new links to useful corpus sites; wordlists and concordance lines for use with activities in the book; and sample lessons.
