So happy to have this volume in my hands!! Corpus Linguistics for Language Learning Research, Pascual Pérez-Paredes @perezparedes @languagecorpora, University of Murcia @LetrasUMU @UMU , Geraldine Mark @GelMMark, MIC, University of Limerick, Anne O’Keeffe,  MIC, University of Limerick @MICLinguistics #corpuslinguistics #languagelearning #research #researchmethods Thanks to the series editor Prof Manchón and the wonderful people at Johns Benjamins!!! Massive thanks to Prof Mike McCarthy for his generous foreword. This book serves as an introduction to corpus linguistics (CL) for graduate students and researchers in #appliedlinguistics, especially in the domains of language learning and teaching. It provides a structured and accessible approach for those new to CL, equipping readers with the foundational concepts and tools required to analyse language corpora autonomously in research related to language learning and teaching. It also contextualises CL’s development over the past four decades, offering critical reflections on its practices and applications. Each chapter integrates recommended readings and highlights central concepts, guiding readers in applying CL methods to their own studies. By the end of the book, readers will have gained the knowledge and practical expertise needed to apply corpus linguistics methods in conducting robust and innovative research. benjamins.com/catalog/rmal.1…

We're live @languagecorpora with Prof Gregory Hadley @thehadman #corpuslinguistics #DDL Data-driven learning #languagelearning !!!!!!

Coming up tomorrow @languagecorpora @LetrasUM Prof Gregory Hadley @thehadman , Niigata University. October 22, 11:00 am (Madrid time) 10:00 am (London time): "Data-Driven learning (DDL) and extensive reading (ER) in second language classrooms" #corpuslinguistics #languagelearning This talk reflects on a four-year study combining ER and DDL, then shifts focus on a grounded theory of key processes learners typically apply in ER classrooms. This theory will interpret earlier findings, shedding light on the varied learner responses, and will offer suggestions for improving reading engagement among L2 learners.
