Specific corpora resources are presented for exploring grammar, lexicon, translations, language variations, and more. Attendees then collaborate in groups to discuss challenges and ideas for applying corpora in their own teaching, before sharing discussions. The workshop aims to demonstrate how electronic language corpora can enhance language instruction.
Corpus linguistics in language learning
This document discusses the use of corpus linguistics in language teaching and learning. It provides examples of how corpora can be used for vocabulary acquisition, grammar instruction, and developing classroom activities. Specific corpora mentioned include the British National Corpus and the International Corpus of Learner English. Benefits of corpus linguistics include helping learners understand typical language use and aiding in lifelong language learning.
Corpus linguistics intro
Corpus linguistics involves the collection and analysis of large bodies of text, known as corpora. It uses empirical methods to discover patterns of language use by examining naturally occurring texts. Key aspects of corpus linguistics include using large, representative text samples; analyzing frequency, collocation, and concordance; and applying findings to fields like lexicography, language teaching, and theoretical linguistics. Corpus analysis tools allow researchers to investigate features of syntax, semantics, and pragmatics that traditional intuition-based methods cannot.
Corpus linguistics
This document discusses corpus linguistics and the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA). It defines a corpus as a collection of natural texts and corpus linguistics as the analysis of language based on computerized text collections. COCA can be used to learn English by solving doubts and for teaching by creating classroom activities. The document demonstrates how to use COCA's search features like lists, charts, and key word in context and provides examples of classroom activities using COCA to find frequent words by genre and examples of phrasal verbs in context.
Corpus linguistics
Corpus linguistics refers to large collections of natural language texts that can be analyzed using computational techniques. Creating corpora involves collecting and transcribing written or spoken texts, which is time-consuming. Well known corpora include the British National Corpus and the Lancaster-Oslo-Bergen Corpus. There are different types of corpora depending on the research questions or topics being investigated. Analyzing corpora can provide insights into patterns of language use across different text types and contexts. Teachers and material developers can use corpus analyses to inform instruction and claims about linguistic features.
British national corpus
The British National Corpus (BNC) is a large text corpus of samples of written and spoken British English from the late 20th century. It was created between 1991 and 1994 by an academic consortium and contains over 100 million words. The BNC consists of both written texts that make up 90% of the corpus, as well as spoken texts that comprise the remaining 10%. It provides information about English usage and helps researchers study collocations and how words are used in different contexts.
Corpus Tools for Language Teaching
This document summarizes a workshop on using language corpora for teaching. It began with an introduction to the goals of reviewing corpora uses and exploring corpus-based activities. Examples of corpora like MICASE and BYU were provided. Corpora can show word frequencies, clusters, collocations and examples of words in context. Benefits include exposing learners to authentic language patterns. Specific applications for teaching vocabulary, grammar and pragmatics were discussed. The workshop concluded with demonstrations of corpus searches and an activity for participants to design their own corpus-based lesson.

An Introduction to Applied Linguistics
The document provides an overview of applied linguistics, including:
- Its origins in the 1940s through efforts to ally language teaching with linguistics.
- Definitions that describe it as concerned with investigating and solving real-world problems involving language.
- Its problem-based and interdisciplinary nature in drawing on linguistics and other fields like psychology to address issues in areas like language teaching, literacy, and language policy.
- Key topics it addresses including language learning, teaching, assessment, use, and pathology.
- Its focus on applying linguistic knowledge to resolve language problems people face in various contexts.
Teaching vocabulary & grammar
The document discusses various aspects of teaching vocabulary and grammar. It addresses that teaching vocabulary needs to focus on meaning, form, use and other elements. Grammar teaching should balance form and function to help students communicate effectively. Various activities are suggested for teaching vocabulary and grammar, including deliberate teaching, strategy training, and giving repeated attention to target words. The document emphasizes that both vocabulary and grammar need to be taught through meaningful, communicative activities.
Language description presentation
This document summarizes different approaches to language description including classical grammar, structural linguistics, transformational grammar, language variations and register analysis, functional and notional syllabus, and discourse analysis. It discusses how the concept of language variation led to the development of English for Specific Purposes based on register analysis. Examples are provided to show how language varies based on context between informal spoken text versus formal written instructions. The document concludes that developments in language description are interrelated and distinguishing performance from competence is important in describing a language for learning purposes.
Language Attitude by Karahan F
This study examined language attitudes of Turkish students towards English. A questionnaire was administered to 190 Turkish 8th grade students measuring their attitudes on 5-point scales. Results found students have mildly positive attitudes towards English, seeing it as important but not very interesting. Females had more positive attitudes than males. Students exposed to English earlier (ages 0-6) also had more positive attitudes. Students recognized English's importance but were less willing to actively learn it. They welcomed English culture but were ambivalent about using the language in Turkey. The findings partially supported the relationship between positive language attitudes and orientation to learning English.
Second Language Acquisition 631
The document discusses second language acquisition and provides information about:
1) It introduces the class and syllabus, discussing what second language acquisition refers to and the basic questions researchers seek to answer about the process.
2) It defines key terms like first language, second language, and discusses diversity in how languages are learned through informal exposure, immersion, or formal instruction.
3) It outlines some class activities that ask students to reflect on their own language learning experiences and abilities.
History and Definition of Applied Linguistics
Applied Linguistics entails using what we know about language, about how it is used, and about how it is learned in order to solve some problem in the real world.
Field of study that identifies, investigates, and offers solutions to language related to problems
How is it different from Linguistics??
(Applied linguistics) shmitt's book ch 1
Applied linguistics uses knowledge about language, how it is learned, and how it is used to solve real-world problems. It includes areas like second language teaching, literacy, speech pathology, and translation. Applied linguistics has developed over the 20th century through different language teaching methods like the direct method, grammar translation, and audiolingualism. More recently, it views language in holistic and integrative ways rather than discrete skills, and considers the language learner's perspective. It also takes new approaches to teaching the four language skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing. Applied linguistics often lacks definitive answers because language occurs between people and in the mind.
Developmental sequences in learner language
The document discusses developmental sequences in learner language acquisition. It covers several topics:
1) The silent period - Most but not all L2 learners go through a period of listening before speaking. This allows private speech practice. The length of the silent period varies individually.
2) Formulaic sequences - Early learner language relies heavily on memorized phrases and patterns.
3) Structural and semantic simplification - Early creative utterances typically contain fewer words and omit grammatical elements to simplify messages.
4) Acquisition of grammatical morphemes - Studies show L1 and L2 order differs but both show evidence of a natural sequence. Tense and aspect also show clear developmental patterns.
Introduction to language planning-yomna el-hossary
This document provides an introduction to language planning, defining it as the efforts to solve language problems and change linguistic behavior at the national level. It outlines four main types of language planning: corpus planning which deals with the structure of language; status planning which changes a language's role and functions in society; prestige planning which promotes a language's image and usage; and acquisition planning which spreads a language through education. The conclusion states that language planning is essential for shaping and defining a nation's identity.
Corpus linguistics
Corpus linguistics is the study of language through large collections of real-world texts called corpora. It is empirical, analyzing actual language usage patterns using computers. Corpora come in many types but aim to represent language broadly through balanced samples of different genres. Building a corpus involves collecting, storing, and organizing electronic text samples. Basic analyses of corpora can reveal word frequencies and linguistic patterns through tools like concordances.
2. Halliday's+Theory.ppt
Systemic functional linguistics (SFL) is a theory of language that views grammar as a network of systems for making meaning, with a focus on the functions of language in social contexts. SFL analyzes language across four strata - discourse, semantics, lexicogrammar, and phonology/graphology - and accounts for language structure, word choice, and the influences of social factors like context, culture, and communicative purpose. SFL places language use and meaning-making as central rather than viewing language through a strictly structural lens.
Application of call in language learning classroom
The document discusses the historical stages of computer-assisted language learning (CALL) including behaviorist CALL, communicative CALL, and integrated CALL. It then discusses applications of CALL such as using computer-based technologies to help with language practice through collaborations with native speakers, using email assignments with teachers and tutors, and computer-mediated synchronous forums. The document also covers current trends in CALL for assessing speaking skills, network-based language teaching and CALL, and criticisms against CALL.

What is Sociolinguistics - Introduction to Sociolinguistics in Urdu & Hindi -...
Sociolinguistics is the study of how social and cultural factors influence language and linguistic behavior. It examines how aspects like race, social class, gender, and age can be judged based on one's language use, dialect, or word choice. Sociolinguistics analyzes language as a social activity and studies topics of language standardization, language change over time, the relationship between speakers and listeners, and the power dynamics conveyed through language. It also encompasses the study of bilingualism/multilingualism, dialects, language evolution, and the development of pidgins and creoles.

How can concordancing help ESL teachers design vocabulary tests
This study examines how concordancing, a text-searching program, can help language teachers design vocabulary tests from extensive reading materials. The study analyzed two graded readers loaded into the concordancer to create word lists and frequency bands. Pre-tests assessed students' vocabulary knowledge from the lists, and a post-test measured gains in high frequency words. Results showed small pure vocabulary gains but significant learning from exposure in context. Frequency correlated with word acquisition but context evaluation and general frequency were also important factors. The concordancer can help teachers analyze texts, sensitizing students to word usages and patterns to improve vocabulary learning from extensive reading.
Concordancers Prezentacja
The document discusses the use of concordancers in foreign language teaching and provides examples of how concordancers can be used in the classroom. It gives an overview of theories on formulaic language and collocations. Examples are provided to demonstrate how concordancers can help students explore word patterns and collocations, identify idiomatic expressions, check word choice and improve writing. Potential advantages are exploring language autonomously and acting as linguistic detectives while challenges could involve technical problems.
Collaborative writing using delicious and google docs
This workshop seeks to show participants how students can work on projects and writing tasks using Google Docs as an online space for collaborative writing. Participants are shown 16 steps whereby students share spaces with one another, publish to Internet, and share their URLs via TinyURL and tagging in Delicious.
Concordancer
This document discusses the use of concordancers in corpus linguistics and language teaching. A concordancer is a tool that allows users to search electronic texts and analyze word combinations and frequencies. The document provides examples of concordancer programs and discusses how they can be used by students, language teachers, and researchers. It then summarizes two articles that used concordancers - one to analyze metaphoric expressions used by doctors and patients, and another to teach medical students how to write academic research descriptions.
Collaborative Writing
The document discusses collaborative writing and provides definitions and steps for effective collaborative writing processes. It defines collaborative writing as projects created by multiple authors working together rather than individually. It outlines key steps in the collaborative writing process including pre-writing, planning, research, drafting, revising, and helpful strategies. Some strategies discussed are starting early, scheduling meetings, sharing files electronically, separating revising from editing, and seeking help from experts. The overall document serves as a guide for groups to effectively collaborate on writing projects.
TEACH Academy Collaborative Writing
Collaborative writing involves multiple individuals working together to create written works rather than individually. This allows for real-time or asynchronous editing and reviewing of documents by collaborative groups who can draw on the strengths of all members. Effective collaborative writing requires good communication, defined roles for group members, and clear expectations and assessment criteria from instructors. Theorists recommend starting small collaborative assignments and giving student groups flexibility in their methods while connecting projects to real-world contexts.
Concordances
This document discusses and provides information on four different concordancing tools that can be used for educational purposes: AntConc, AdTAT, Saffron, and TextSTAT. It provides the websites for each tool and briefly describes their functions, such as generating word frequency lists and concordances, analyzing texts in different languages and encodings, and performing textual searches using regular expressions. The document concludes by thanking the reader.
Word processor
Microsoft Word is a word processing program that allows users to create a variety of documents like letters, memos, essays, and short stories with the ability to easily edit and modify documents. Documents created in Word can be printed accurately or saved for later changes. Word is commonly used for business, education, and home purposes.
Concordancing and ESL
This workshop was given to staff at a Gulf College to introduce the EFL staff to the world of concordancing.
What is Word Processing? Powerpoint Presentation PPT
Now watch the Power Point Presentation about the term "Word Processing" . Word Processing is noun and define as , "the production, storage, and manipulation of text on a computer or word processor". In this PPT, you can also known about the term " Word Processor" .
Word processing is the phrase used to describe using a computer to create, edit, and print documents. Of all computer applications, word processing is the most common. To perform word processing, you need a computer, a special program called a word processor, and a printer. A word processor enables you to create a document, store it electronically on a disk, display it on a screen, modify it by entering commands and characters from the keyboard, and print it on a printer.

Basic Computer Course
This document provides an overview of basic computer concepts and skills. It discusses what a computer is, including the central processing unit, inputs, outputs, memory, storage, and basic units. It then covers operating systems, user interfaces, word processing programs, presentations, and how to format documents and slides. The document provides guidance on writing, formatting, inserting images and tables, and finishing documents and presentations.
Process oriented syllabus
This document discusses different types of syllabus design, including procedural, task-based, and content syllabuses. Procedural and task-based syllabuses focus on classroom processes and tasks rather than linguistic items or communicative skills. They specify activities for learners to engage in class. Task-based syllabuses select tasks as the basic unit of planning and justify this based on pedagogical and psycholinguistic reasons. Content syllabuses derive experiential content from subject areas to provide the starting point for the syllabus.
Discourse and corpus
This document discusses using corpus linguistics to analyze discourse. It explains that a corpus can reveal a text's lexical cohesion, cohesive properties, and narrative structure. By analyzing these features, researchers gain insights into the social approaches and power relations used in the discourse. The document then summarizes how these methods were applied to analyze a corpus from the Jehovah's Witnesses website, finding themes of persuasion and reliance on biblical references to convince readers of their doctrine.

Corpus Linguistics
Corpus linguistics is the analysis of large collections of machine-readable texts called corpora. It utilizes computers to analyze patterns of language use in natural texts. Corpus linguistics is an empirical approach that uses quantitative and qualitative techniques on representative text samples to study topics like lexicography, grammar, dialects and language acquisition. It provides consistent, reliable analyses of complex language patterns not possible through manual analysis alone.
PPT - VOLUNTER WEEK 15 (1).pptx
The document discusses new roles for vocabulary learning in a second language. It notes that there is a gap between simplified texts designed for language learners and original unmodified texts. It explores ways to help learners bridge this gap, such as through glossing unknown words, using computer-assisted tools like concordances, and focusing on morphological word forms. The goal is to help learners acquire the estimated 8,000-9,000 words needed to read unmodified texts without having to solely rely on simplified texts.
Computer assisted text and corpus analysis
the presentation deals with the introduction and different features of computer mediated text and corpus analysis in detailed way
Corpus Linguistics
This document provides an introduction and overview of corpus linguistics. It defines corpus linguistics as the study of language through large collections of authentic texts stored electronically. The document discusses the history and development of corpus linguistics. It also outlines some key principles of the corpus approach, including that it is empirical, uses large principled text collections, utilizes computer analysis, and employs both quantitative and qualitative techniques. Examples are provided to illustrate how corpus analysis can provide insights into patterns of language use and inform language teaching.
Corpus study design
This document discusses corpus linguistics and quantitative research design. It defines a corpus as a large collection of texts used for linguistic analysis. Corpus linguistics allows researchers to empirically test hypotheses about language patterns and features based on large amounts of real-world data. Quantitative analysis of corpus data shows how frequently certain words, constructions, and patterns are used. Specialized corpora can focus on particular text types, languages, or learner language. Various software tools are used to analyze corpora through frequency lists, keyword lists, collocation analysis, and other methods.
Corpus approaches to discourse analysis
This document discusses the use of corpus approaches to analyze discourse. It begins by explaining the advantages of using large corpora to analyze language use from a discourse perspective. It then defines what a corpus is and discusses different types of corpora, including general corpora that aim to represent language broadly and specialized corpora focused on specific text types or genres. Several examples of specialized corpora are provided, including MICASE, BASE, BAWE, and TOEFL corpora. Key considerations for constructing corpora are outlined, such as what to include, size, sampling, and ensuring representativeness. The Longman Spoken and Written English Corpus is then discussed as an example that analyzed discourse characteristics of conversation.
Data collection and Materials Development
This document discusses the use of language corpora and concordancing in language teaching. It provides examples of how teachers can use hand-made concordances to analyze word usage, collocations, and grammatical structures. Sample classroom activities are presented that focus on high-frequency words like "as," "that," and "in," helping students better understand how these words are commonly used by analyzing example sentences from texts. Concordancing is suggested as a way for students to develop analytical skills and greater awareness of authentic language use.
Prescriptivism essay feedback
The document provides guidance on how to structure an essay response about prescriptivism versus descriptivism in language. It includes sample introduction and context paragraphs that define the terms and discuss the historical background of the debate. It also gives suggestions for the main body, such as using examples to support arguments for and against prescriptivism, and discussing how language change and flexibility are important but rules aim to standardize communication.
Sinopsis
This document discusses the use of corpus linguistics in lexicography. It defines lexicography as compiling, writing, or editing dictionaries. Practical lexicography focuses on writing dictionaries, while theoretical lexicography analyzes vocabulary and word meanings. Corpora used include written texts from various sources and transcribed spoken language recordings. Corpora can help lexicographers provide definitions, identify new and changing words, and give labels for words. The document also summarizes two studies, one using a corpus to develop a cognitive profile of the word "spider", and another introducing early English corpus projects and their use.
Pragmatics
The document discusses pragmatics, which includes the context and background of a conversation. Pragmatics are divided into presuppositions, topics, and conversational maxims. Presuppositions are implied assumptions in language. Topics refer to what a sentence is about. Conversational maxims like relevance, quality, quantity, and manner provide guidelines for effective communication. The document also discusses differences between languages and how languages evolve over time through processes like mutation, heredity, and isolation.
Concordancing 1
The document discusses what a corpus and concordance are. A corpus is a large collection of texts stored electronically that can be analyzed. A concordance is an alphabetical list showing words from a text and their contexts. Concordancing software allows querying a corpus to find all instances of a search word in context. The document then provides examples of how concordancing could be used for language teaching, such as discovering grammatical patterns, identifying collocations, and filling in gaps.
Sinopsis
This document discusses the use of corpus linguistics in lexicography. It defines lexicography as compiling, writing, or editing dictionaries. Practical lexicography focuses on writing dictionaries, while theoretical lexicography analyzes vocabulary and word meanings. Corpora used include written texts from various sources and transcribed spoken language. Corpora help inform new words, words that are no longer used, and differentiate formal and informal language. They also serve as a record of how language changes over time.
Lexical bundles
The document discusses lexical bundles, which are frequently occurring multi-word expressions in a given register or genre. Lexical bundles are not complete grammatical structures or idioms, but rather bridge phrases. They serve important functions in constructing discourse and indicating success within discourse communities. The document provides examples of lexical bundles from conversation and academic prose and categorizes them based on structural patterns and functional classification. It also discusses the importance of teaching lexical bundles to language learners.
Concordancer
This document outlines how a concordancer can be used in language teaching and learning. It defines a concordancer as software that allows users to search language corpora to analyze word usage. The document discusses how concordancers can help students learn collocations, understand different word meanings and usages, find authentic examples, and learn from their own errors. Some potential issues are that corpora may be too advanced for lower levels and interfaces can be complex. Overall, the document argues that while concordancers present initial challenges, they can become very useful tools when incorporated into language instruction.
Updated concordancer
This document outlines how a concordancer can be used in language teaching and learning. It defines a concordancer as software that allows users to search language corpora to analyze word usage. The document discusses how concordancers can help students learn collocations, understand different word meanings and usages, find authentic examples, and learn from their own errors. Some potential issues are that corpora may be too advanced for lower levels and interfaces can be complex. However, the document concludes that while incorporating concordancers takes time, it can ultimately be a useful language learning tool.
Corpus Linguistics
1. Corpus linguistics is the study of language using large collections of electronic texts called corpora.
2. A teacher conducted a corpus analysis of student writing to determine the most frequent words. The three most common words were "the", "for", and "it".
3. Corpora come in many types including speech, text, monolingual, parallel, and learner corpora. They are used for various linguistic analyses.

Requirements for upcoming assignments on analyzing oral language and collecting additional language samples are also provided.
lexicography
This document discusses the use of corpus linguistics in lexicography. It defines lexicography as compiling, writing, or editing dictionaries and divides it into practical and theoretical lexicography. Practical lexicography focuses on writing dictionaries while theoretical analyzes vocabulary and word meanings. Corpora used for lexicography include newspapers, academic texts, conversations, and more. Examples of corpora mentioned are the British National Corpus and American National Corpus. The document also discusses two studies on how corpus linguistics can inform lexicography and generate cognitive profiles of words. It concludes by mentioning dictionary production software like TLex that aids in compiling dictionaries from corpora.
