Hello everyone! This post will be about creating corpus-based teaching material that our lecturer gave us as a task. For this task, Buse and I worked together. That's why I’m going to talk about my experiences while doing this.
In the lesson, we learned that language learners need access to as much authentic linguistic data as possible and this can be done by utilizing a data-driven learning approach. The reason for this is that in DDL, the language is seen as data and the learner is seen as a language researcher. Therefore, the use of corpus (a corpus is a pile of written texts and usually focuses on both grammar and vocabulary) linguistics in language learning contributes to the autonomy of students in this method.
In the corpus-based material that we have prepared, we tried to teach the issue of it's vs its, which is often confused by students, by drawing attention to the difference between them.Therefore, we have prepared four activities. We created all of them in Canva. While creating our material, we followed 4 principles for corpus-based learning and teaching material proposed by Ma et al. (2021). To give brief information about the activities: In the first activity, students' knowledge of the issue will be checked. In the second activity, students will use COCA to conduct corpus research. Then the students will take an active role in the third activity, which will assist their study at Corpus. Finally, in the last activity, students will practice what they've learned.
See you in a new post next week!!
