WELCOME TO THE CORPUS-AIDED PLATFORM FOR LANGUAGE TEACHERS (CAP)

This is the home for practical information related to corpus-based teaching and learning. In recent decades, how to help students learn and use real language patterns has posed a big challenge for English teachers. Traditional tools (e.g., textbooks, dictionaries, other published materials, etc.) and teachers’ intuition are unable to fully address this issue. This is an area where corpus linguistics can fill the gap. Using corpus data allows teachers and students to study naturally occurring English language for grammatical patterns, word usage, and discursive features. In addition, corpus-based teaching allows teachers to develop their hands-on activities that cater to students’ needs at different levels, helping them to explore authentic language data and answer their own language queries more independently.

However, if the teachers are not equipped with the knowledge and skills to make use of corpus data and design pedagogically sound corpus-based teaching and learning materials, conducting a corpus-based language lesson can be a challenge for both teachers and students.

With their expertise in corpus linguistics, a group of colleagues from the Department of Linguistics and Modern Language Studies (LML) at the Education University of Hong Kong (EDUHK) conducted various corpus projects to transfer the knowledge of corpus linguistics to school teachers and the general public. This website serves as a platform that embodies rich information and ample corpus resources to help language teachers (e.g., primary, secondary, and also tertiary) to develop good corpus literacy, so they can realise the advantages of the new corpus-based language pedagogy (CBLP). Below are some features of this website:

- - - covers vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, and L1-L2 contrast analysis-language contrast
    - helps users to compare native language data with non-native language data
    - demonstrates how to learn from numerous examples from a database of daily use of authentic language instead of fixed and limited textbook language
    - introduces inductive learning strategies to encourage learners to “discover” the foreign language and become independent learners
    - provides guidance for language teachers to apply the corpus-based language pedagogy (CBLP) to design classroom teaching materials
    - offers rich resources to help teachers adapt their own teaching activities at ease

OUR OBJECTIVES

This website aims to:

Introduce a corpus linguistic approach to both pre- and in-service teachers as a framework for understanding learners’ language and as a practical guidance for solving specific teaching difficulties.

Develop the corpus literacy of pre- and in-service teachers by helping them explore new ways of English language teaching and equip them with skills and tools to develop their own corpus-based teaching/learning materials.

Developing teachers’ corpus literacy before and after training, helping them to learn new ways of teaching English and equipping them with the skills and tools to develop their own corpus-based teaching/learning materials, is an important aspect of the educational field.

Develop corpus-based teaching & learning materials for pre- and in-service teachers.

Disseminate the knowledge and corpus-based approach to pre- and in-service teachers.

Encourage EdUHK students’ integration into regional education communities by enriching their learning experience outside the Hong Kong context.

This site also serves as a platform where teachers can share their valuable insights and disseminate good practices of corpus-based teaching and learning approach to others who are interested in the corpus-based language pedagogy.

Vocabulary

Apr 2020
Dr. Ma Qing, Angel
Abstract

Word knowledge and usage are more easily accessible through corpora than other traditional tools, such as dictionaries. The corpus workshop series by Dr. Ma Qing, Angel introduces some free online corpora to school teachers and provides guidance on how to explore corpus data and discover authentic use of vocabulary and collocations. Corpus-based vocabulary teaching materials…

Workshop Series –

English-Chinese Parallel Corpus

2 Feb 2021
Dr. Wang Lixun
Abstract

In this workshop, an English-Chinese parallel corpus developed at the EdUHK will be introduced to help teachers and students to understand the value of parallel texts in language teaching and learning. The workshop demonstrated how learning materials can be developed based on parallel corpus data to help language learners to compare the English and Chinese language…

Workshop Series –

Pronunciation

26 Jan 2021
Dr. Rebecca Chen
Abstract

This workshop aims at helping teachers to use learner corpora as a resource to work out pronunciation and providing teachers with examples of using learner corpora to design learning tasks. Dr. Chen will first introduce two international English speech accent archives and then share two self-developed spoken corpora. Several sets of ready-made…

Workshop Series –

Grammar

27 Jan 2021
Dr. Jackie Lee
Abstract

In this workshop, participants will be given opportunities to explore how to use corpus tools to enhance English language teaching, in particular, grammar teaching. The workshop will first give an overview of corpora in terms of accessibility. It will then discuss how corpus-based data can enhance lexico-grammar instruction and self-study. Examples of how to…

It's good to learn about the corpus resources.
 
TEACHER FEEDBACK
 
I must say it is worth attending. I've learned a new way of vocabulary teaching.
 
TEACHER FEEDBACK
 
The course arrangement is great. Very systematic and the task practices 
are very useful. They gave me lots of ideas to design my lesson exercises. Thanks a lot.
 
TEACHER FEEDBACK
 
The teaching method is innovative and sounds useful, but it is also challenging. 
Thank you for organising the workshop.
 
TEACHER FEEDBACK
 
This course gives me plenty of ideas for implementing online-aided teaching tools. 
Pupils would like to use these tools for self-study and self-discovery in a student-centered classroom.
