- Abstract
- The use of corpora and corpus-based research to create pedagogical materials is still a relatively new development. This chapter begins by operationalizing the terms we use (e.g., authentic, corpus-based/informed/driven) and then surveys recent empirical studies using corpus-informed materials for English language teaching. In addition to surveying existing corpus-informed pedagogical materials, we present a case study that explores similarities and differences between traditional teaching materials and corpus-informed teaching materials. After a description of each of the textbooks we survey, we then compare how the passive is presented across these two types of materials. This is then expanded to look at exercise types and lexical and use information across these materials.In conclusion, we present areas for future research, such as the need for classroom-based research comparing the use of corpus and non-corpus-based materials, exploring the effectiveness of corpus materials for certain grammatical structures, and exploring the effectiveness of specialized corpora for specific contexts of language use.
