Corpus Perspectives on the Spoken Models used by EFL Teachers
illustrates the key principles and practical guidelines for the
design and exploitation of corpora for classroom-based research.
Focusing on the nature of the spoken English used by L2 teachers,
which serves as an implicit target model for learners alongside the
curriculum model, this book brings an innovative perspective to the
on-going academic debate concerning the models of spoken English
that are taught today. Based on research carried out in the EFL
classroom in Ireland, this book: explores issues and challenges
that arise from the use of "non-standard" varieties of spoken
English by teachers, alongside the use of Standard British English,
and examines the controversies surrounding sociolinguistic
approaches to the study of variation in spoken English; combines
quantitative corpus linguistic investigations with qualitative
functional discourse analytic approaches from pragmatics and SLA
for classroom-based research; demonstrates the ways in which
changing trends and perspectives surrounding spoken English may be
filtering down to the classroom level. Drawing on a corpus of
60,000 words and highlighting strategies and techniques that can be
applied by researchers and teachers to their own research context,
this book is key reading for all pre- and in-service teachers of
EFL as well as researchers in this field.
