Corpora, Language, Teaching, and Resources
Résumé
This volume brings together a selection of papers originally presented at the 7th Teaching and Language Corpora Conference, which was held
in Paris in 2006. The volume is divided into four parts and deals with the practice of corpus use, learner corpora, the creation of resources and
tools, and the evaluation of resources. This book follows the TaLC tradition which takes into account the great vitality and huge increase in
computer facilities for using corpora and creating resources in language teaching. Also, the book deals with the teaching of language-related
fields, such as translation, linguistics, terminology, or even literature and cultural studies. Moreover, some articles in this volume tackle the
more theoretical concepts of corpus linguistics that can be introduced in language teaching. Other articles deal with the more and more userfriendly
tools that are created to help linguists compile resources appropriate to language teaching. By showing the diversity of the proposed
approaches, of corpus types, and corpus analyses that can be used in teaching, this volume allows readers to follow the extremely dynamic
evolution of the domain.
