📐 Conclusion
Although using corpora in language teaching is challenging, it has a big potential in EFL classrooms. If teachers are trained on how to design suitable corpus-based tasks, they can help their students get exposed to a broader framework of how English is used for communication by native speakers. Certain points to bear in mind while designing corpus-based tasks include the ability level of the students, cultural and educational backgrounds and the age group of the students. It is also recommended to use online corpora as they are available for anybody at any given time. In class a specialized corpus is needed, EFL instructors and researchers need to make sure it is available at their institutions. The researchers’ next plan is to examine some of the activities listed above using a more in-depth approach to highlight the benefits, challenges and drawbacks of each.
