Předpoklady
It is expected that course participants will have have studied English , some linguistic subjects, have an awareness of some aspects of language acquisition and pedagogical approaches to language teaching. As this course concerns data-driven learning (DDL), which are computer-based, it is taught in a computer lab. All participants are therefore expected to be experienced users of the web and have basic computer skills.

Cíle předmětu
New applications of corpus linguistics to language teaching are being developed in many parts of the world. The use of corpora is gaining recognition as discovery learning, task-based learning, and as tools in learner independence par excellence. And now that there is a plethora of freely available resources on the web, language education practitioners have them at their ready disposal. In this course, we will look at the nature of corpora, how different corpora meet different requirements, the array of tools offered by concordancers (the programs used to access the data that corpora hold), and the language awareness that develops from their systematic use. Language professionals involved in general teaching, developing student writing, correcting written work, creating teaching resources, preparing tests and to a lesser extent, translating, will have the opportunity to experience this wide range of applications. Exploiting corpora to these ends will involve developing a new range of computer skills, linguistic awareness and pedagogical thinking.
Osnova
  • During this course we will: * learn how to use several web-based concordancers, and compare them * perform searches for a wide range of lexical forms, grammar structures, lexicogrammar, genre variations, multi-word units, collocations * use several pedagogically-based corpus linguistics web-sites * create sample teaching material and tests in a variety of formats (e.g. worksheets, interactive exercises, instructional web pages) using data derived from corpora * compare the web as corpus with corpora constructed according to established principles * create our own dedicated mini-corpora * observe how influential CL has been in the creation of modern teaching resources, dictionaries and grammars in particular. * consider the pedagogical and linguistic implications of DDL and their applications for students, teacher trainees, teachers and translators * read and discus some of the growing body of relevant literature.
