During the last four decades, a corpus-based approach to language
teaching has become very significant. Direct use of corpora in
language pedagogy is limited by certain factors: time, the
lecturer's knowledge and skills needed to analyze the corpus,
access to sources such as computers and appropriate computer tools,
or a combination of these factors. The key to a successful
corpus-based approach is in the appropriate level of the lecturer's
guidance or pedagogical mediation, which depends on student age,
experience, and prior knowledge. It is therefore very important
that lecturers be equipped with the necessary knowledge and
education for using and analyzing corpora on a daily basis.
Computer Corpora and Open Source Software for Language Learning:
Emerging Research and Opportunities is a cutting-edge research
publication that analyzes teacher experiences in implementing
computer corpora into their language learning classrooms in order
to formulate additional insights as to best strategies for
integrating such tools that maximizes language learning efficiency
in primary and secondary education. Highlighting topics such as ICT
tools, language education, and linguistics, this book is ideal for
academicians, educators, computer science teachers, IT
professionals, researchers, and students.
