  • Abstract:
  • This paper examines the historical evolution and contemporary implications of corpora in language teaching. Beginning with an overview of traditional language teaching methods and their limitations, the study traces the emergence of corpora in linguistic research, highlighting milestones such as the development of influential corpora like the Brown Corpus and the British National Corpus. Pioneering projects by researchers such as John Sinclair and advancements in technology have facilitated the integration of corpora into language education, offering authentic language data for analysis and instructional design. Despite initial resistance, corpora have revolutionized language teaching by enhancing authenticity, promoting language awareness, and enabling personalized learning experiences. The paper discusses current trends such as big data in corpus linguistics, emerging technologies like natural language processing, and future directions in interdisciplinary research. It concludes with recommendations for optimizing corpus-based language teaching methodologies to meet the evolving needs of global language learners.
