RESEARCH OVERVIEW
Abstract
In this article Corpora, in the sense “databases that contain texts”, are a widely used tool in language research. This tool can be a helpful resource for language teachers and learners as well, and many corpora are available online. In this chapter, Hilde Hasselgard discusses the use of corpora in the English classroom. She explains what a corpus is, and what answers a corpus can provide to questions about language use. Then she presents various possibilities for making use of corpora in language learning
