Abstract
Awareness of the use of corpus-informed or corpus-based materials for language instruction has increased over the last several decades, however, there remains much to be resolved before widespread use is practical. This presentation explores three approaches for using corpora and corpus information to inform language instruction. The approaches range from using existing corpus-based research and corpus-informed materials, to carrying out classroom-based corpus research. The approaches move from: 1. a focus on teachers and existing research and materials; 2. a focus on teachers and learners using of online resources; 3. back to a focus on teachers, but with the goal of teacher as researcher. The three approaches can be used individually, or in combination depending on the instructional goals and student level. Each approach is described through detailed examples and practical classroom-based applications using freely available tools and websites.
