Book excerpt: The growing interest among language teachers in corpora, concordances, lexical approaches, and task-based learning makes the publication of Concordances in the Classroom a timely event. Many teachers are just beginning to explore the rich possibilities of using concordance data to improve their teaching and to extend the range of materials available to language students. It is apparent to many that the use of computers and text corpora offers interesting possibilies, but the question most often posed is: How can I make use of these tools in the classroom? Focussing on classroom practice rather than theory, Chris Tribble and Glyn Jones provide extensive, well-written answers to this question. Concordances in the Classroom includes a wide range of classroom-tested examples of concordance use covering: grammar, vocabulary, literature, and English for Special Purposes.

Book Synopsis Beyond Concordance Lines by : Pascual Pérez-Paredes
Download or read book Beyond Concordance Lines written by Pascual Pérez-Paredes and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2021-12-15 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In over 30 years of data-driven learning (DDL) research, there has been a growing sophistication in the ways we collect, analyse, and put corpus data to use. This volume takes a three-fold perspective on DDL. It first looks at DDL and its role in informing language learning theory and how it might shed light on the language development process; secondly it addresses how DDL can help us characterise learner language and inform teaching accordingly, and thirdly it showcases practical applications for the use of DDL in classrooms. The contributors to this volume examine a variety of instructional settings and languages across the world. They reflect on theoretical, methodological and classroom implications using both novel and established language learning theories, natural language processing (NLP), longitudinal research designs, and a variety of language learning targets. The present volume is an invitation from some of the leading researchers in DDL to reflect on the research avenues that will define the field in the coming years.

Book Synopsis Corpora in the Foreign Language Classroom by :
Download or read book Corpora in the Foreign Language Classroom written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The papers published in this volume were originally presented at the Sixth International Conference on Teaching and Language Corpora (4-7 July 2004 Granada, Spain) and reflect the latest developments that have taken place in the field of the teaching applications of text corpora, with a special emphasis on their use in the foreign language classroom. The book is divided into three main sections. The first section sets the scene for what this collection of essays aims to be. It deals with the issue of what corpus linguistics can do not only for the understanding of the nature of language itself but also for so fundamental and miraculous a matter such as language learning and language acquisition. The second section tackles the issues of corpus design and corpus exploitation and provides the reader with a great variety of evidence in favour of corpora exploitation for the building of a successful teaching environment. The final section deals with practical applications of corpora in the foreign language classroom. Although each of the papers here reports particular experiences in very different teaching and learning contexts, as a whole they show that corpora can be used on the spot in a language teaching context by teachers and learners without extensive training in computational tools, and studies of linguistics features can be tailored to specific pedagogic context and learning requirements. The book represents a solid contribution to linguistic studies and language teaching and it is a good example of the diversity of the scientific lines in which corpus linguistics is involved at the present moment.

Download or read book ELT written by Christoph Haase and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2015-09-10 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents a survey of the latest results and discussions in the research on English Language Teaching (ELT), bringing together researchers from four continents and 11 different countries to discuss current topics and issues in the field. In doing so, it offers a debate in a conducive and intellectually charged environment which enables the reader to gain insights into new technologies, ideas and concepts of practitioners working at very different research and teaching institutions. The papers collected in this volume provide ample evidence of the lively atmosphere and the interesting conversations present in ELT in recent years. Much has changed in the research of ELT; the field has become more technical and applied on the one hand and more theoretically informed on the other. As such, it is a particular achievement of this volume that it enables the diverse disciplines under the umbrella of ELT to communicate and exchange their approaches. It is in this way that linguists can talk to methodologists and cultural studies scholars cooperate with literary scholars. The tripartite structure of this book reflects this. The first part is dedicated to linguistic issues and contains a number of both large-scale and micro-scale studies. The second section collects papers from the cultural and literary studies field. The concluding segment concerns new approaches in methodology and offers two very technical contributions on CLIL.
Book Synopsis Handbook of Research on Cultivating Literacy in Diverse and Multilingual Classrooms by : Neokleous, Georgios
Download or read book Handbook of Research on Cultivating Literacy in Diverse and Multilingual Classrooms written by Neokleous, Georgios and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2020-03-27 with total page 767 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Literacy has traditionally been associated with the linguistic and functional ability to read and write. Although literacy, as a fundamental issue in education, has received abundant attention in the last few decades, most publications to date have focused on monolingual classrooms. Language teacher educators have a responsibility to prepare teachers to be culturally responsive and flexible so they can adapt to the range of settings and variety of learners they will encounter in their careers while also bravely questioning the assumptions they are encountering about multilingual literacy development and instruction. The Handbook of Research on Cultivating Literacy in Diverse and Multilingual Classrooms is an essential scholarly publication that explores the multifaceted nature of literacy development across the lifespan in a range of multilingual contexts. Recognizing that literacy instruction in contemporary language classrooms serving diverse student populations must go beyond developing reading and writing abilities, this book sets out to explore a wide range of literacy dimensions. It offers unique perspectives through a critical reflection on issues related to power, ownership, identity, and the social construction of literacy in multilingual societies. As a resource for use in language teacher preparation programs globally, this book will provide a range of theoretical and practical perspectives while creating space for pre- and in-service teachers to grapple with the ideas in light of their respective contexts. The book will also provide valuable insights to instructional designers, curriculum developers, linguists, professionals, academicians, administrators, researchers, and students.
