This seminar aims to provide useful tips and a practical step-by-step methodology on how to use both home–made and free online corpora in language learning. What is the best way to train our students in working with corpora? How do we create corpus-based activities? This hands-on seminar will make use of an existing Google classroom and will provide suggestions on how to teach vocabulary and grammar in an online environment.

Participants are kindly requested to have an active Google account.
