CORPUS-BASED APPROACH TO VOCABULARY TEACHING AND LEARNING
ABSTRACT
Abstract. University EFL learners are typically required to learn a vast amount of vocabulary in a
short period of time in order to cope with challenging English tasks, such as comprehending
academic texts or writing assignments. One effective strategy that can be used to boost learners’
vocabulary is the word form strategy (Cook, 2016). However, a valid question that arises is: how
should word forms be taught? One traditional and widely applicable method is the deductive
approach, which typically implements the PPP (Presentation-Practice-Production) strategy. The
invention of corpora and their applicability in language education, however, have paved the way
for a new approach to language learning. The corpus-based approach, which is seen as an inductive
approach and that normally adopts the III (Illustration – Interaction - Induction) strategy, could be
used as an alternative approach to teaching word forms. In this paper, the author discusses some
reasons why vocabulary expansion through corpora deserves consideration in language pedagogy.
