ABSTRACT

In the past couple of decades, computer corpora and analysis tools or software programs have become increasingly accessible, and a great number of corpus-based studies have become progressively common in the field of applied linguistics. In line with this, there has been a growing interest and awareness that it is useful to investigate learner language by compiling a large amount of learner performance data on computer. Thus, a variety of studies on computer learner corpora (henceforth, CLC), which can be defined as electronic collections of written and/or spoken texts produced by non-native speakers of English, have started to play an outstanding role in the development of corpus linguistics for language teaching and learning. This paper describes the current state of CLC compilation and CLC-based studies regarding: (i) available collections of learner corpora and their major characteristics; (ii) learner corpus analyses and their essential techniques or methodologies; and (iii) pedagogical applications of CLC-based research in language teaching and learning. This study also mainly focuses on providing an idea of the wide range of applications of CLC and CLC-based studies to areas as interlanguage research and language teaching, especially within the data-driven learning (hereafter, DDL) approach.
