The aim of this edited volume is to demystify corpus linguistics
for use in English language teaching (ELT). It advocates the
inclusion of corpus linguistics in the classroom as part of an
approach to ELT in which students engage with naturally occurring
language. The first chapter provides a basic but essential
introduction to corpus linguistics, including sections on corpora
and corpus methods, and this is followed by a review of the use of
corpus linguistics in ELT. Chapters on the traditional ELT strands
of skills, vocabulary and grammar as well as chapters on
pluricentric approaches (on language and culture, World Englishes
and English as a Lingua Franca) flow naturally from the second
chapter, which reports on a survey of the attitudes of trainee
teacher to the use of corpus linguistics in the ELT classroom. The
final two chapters show how the work of corpus linguists can
benefit classroom teacher preparation, materials development and
textbook writing. This book will be of interest not only to
academics in fields such as English Language Teaching, Applied
Linguistics and Corpus Linguistics, but also to educators of
teacher-trainees and teacher-trainees themselves, as well as
teachers who are looking for new interactive approaches to ELT.
