From Corpus to Classroom summarises and makes accessible recent
work in corpus research, focusing particularly on spoken data. It
is based on analysis of corpora such as CANCODE and Cambridge
International Corpus, and written with particular reference to the
development of corpus-informed pedagogy. The book explains how
corpora can be designed and used, and focuses on what they tell us
about language teaching. It examines the relevance of corpora to
materials writers, course designers and language teachers and
considers the needs of the learner in relation to authentic data.
It shows how the answers to key questions such as 'Is there a
basic, everyday vocabulary for English?', 'How should idioms be
taught?' and 'What are the most common spoken language chunks?' are
best explored by means of a clearer understanding of the workings
of language in context.
