| using corpora in the language classroom |
Resources and Ideas for Language Teaching from natural language (corpora) - Randi Reppen 2012 |
The New School |
“with corpora we can do more…. we can better understand and accurately identify what natural language really is and what language students really need for particular contexts”
“how English works and how we can teach this”
gives reasons for using corpora and shows how to and shares resources
“a corpus can give insights into language that teachers and books don’t have”
discovery learning
academic writers need to increase vocabulary - high frequency lexis is not academic lexis
what are the high frequency items in each discipline? what is common in classroom discourse, and what is most common in textbooks?
which suffixes are most productive? [-tion, -ity, -er, -ness, -ism, -ment]
have students id egs on a sample page, and find examples in their discipline and cf verb forms, and match up root words with suffixes
