CORPUS-INFORMED PEDAGOGY IN APPLIED LINGUISTICS: EXPLORING THE ROLE OF CORPUS METHODS IN TEACHING VOCABULARY AND GRAMMAR IN EFL CONTEXTS

Corpus linguistics has become a central methodological paradigm within applied linguistics, providing empirically grounded insights into authentic language use. By relying on large, machine-readable corpora of naturally occurring texts, applied linguistics has increasingly shifted toward evidence-based descriptions of language structure and use. Despite growing scholarly attention, the pedagogical integration of corpus-based approaches in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) contexts remains inconsistent. This study explores the role of corpus-informed pedagogy in teaching vocabulary and grammar through a six-week Data-Driven Learning (DDL) intervention at the tertiary level. Using a mixed-methods research design, the study combines quantitative pre- and post-test data with qualitative classroom observations and learner questionnaires.语料库语言学（Corpus linguistics）现已成为应用语言学（applied linguistics）领域的核心方法论范式，为真实语言使用场景提供了基于实证的深入洞察。依托大规模机器可读的自然文本语料库，应用语言学正日益转向对语言结构与使用的证据导向型描述。尽管学界对该领域的关注度持续提升，但在英语作为外语（English as a Foreign Language, EFL）语境中，基于语料库的教学方法的整合应用仍缺乏一致性。本研究通过在高等教育阶段开展为期六周的数据驱动学习（Data-Driven Learning, DDL）干预，探索语料库辅助教学在词汇与语法教学中的作用。本研究采用混合方法研究设计，将定量前后测数据与定性课堂观察、学习者问卷相结合。
