Corpus-involved Education and Learning in European Universities

Abstract

A central tendency in these innovations is to base corpus more on the educational needs of students in European universities. Corpus-involved education and learning attempt to optimize students’ learning process, stimulation, creation and active learning environment. A logical step in placing students at the center of their education is involving them in the quality control, organization and development of curricula based on corpus learning. Opportunities for student participation in curriculum planning and organization are given, including advantages and possible disadvantages of corpus involvement teaching and learning. Implications for European university wishing to incorporate students in their corpus organization are discussed to improve students’ input.
