(Week 7) Corpus for Classrooms: Ideas for Material Design

From I studied and read about “Corpus for Classrooms: Ideas for Material Design” I can summarize the knowledge as follow:

 Corpus-based Activities and Ideas for Material Design 

1. Elementary students: collocation:

          - Verb pairing game

          - Computer cloze activity

          - Screen shot analysis

2. Intermediate students:

          - Contextual Analysis

          - Cloze activities

          - Spot the error activity

          - Multiple-choices

          - Express yourself

3. Upper intermediate students:

          - Cloze activities

4. Advanced students:

          - Concordance Analysis

          - Pragmatics

Conclusion

Although using corpora in language teaching is challenging, it has a big potential in EFL classrooms. If teachers are trained on how to design suitable corpus-based tasks, they can help their students get exposed to a broader framework of how English is used for communication by native speakers.
