Abstract
One of the greatest impacts of corpus linguistics on language teaching has been in the recognition of the importance of collocation. A very influential guide for language teachers with regard to teaching collocation has been the Lexical Approach. Activities pointing students to rich collocational information in monolingual dictionaries, in texts and specifically in collocation dictionaries provided ways for language learners to engage with collocation information: to notice, to remember and to acquire. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in Data Driven Learning and new tools are now available to allow students to access collocation information from corpora for themselves. After introducing some pedagogic considerations, this article presents some of the features of The Prime Machine which were developed to support DDL activities focussed on collocation.
语料库语言学对语言教学的最大影响之一是认识到搭配的重要性。词汇教学法是语言教师在搭配教学中非常有影响力的指导方法。将学生引向单语词典、文本,特别是搭配词典中丰富的搭配信息的活动,为语言学习者提供了使用搭配信息的途径:注意、记忆和获取。近年来,人们对数据驱动学习越来越感兴趣,现在有新的工具可以让学生自己从语料库中获取搭配信息。在介绍了一些教学方面的考虑之后,本文介绍了the Prime Machine的一些特性,这些特性是为支持侧重于搭配的DDL活动而开发的。
期刊介绍:
The mission of the International Journal of Computer-Assisted Language Learning and Teaching (IJCALLT) is to publish research, theory, and conceptually-based papers that address the use and impact of and innovations in education technologies in advancing foreign/second language learning and teaching. This journal expands on the principles, theories, designs, discussion, and implementations of computer-assisted language learning. In addition to original research papers and submissions on theory and concept development and systematic reports of practice, this journal welcomes theory-based CALL-related book and software/application reviews.
