Using digital technology and corpora in language teaching

Abstract

This article explores the integration of digital technology and corpus linguistics in
language teaching and examines their combined potential to en- hance language
acquisition. Digital technology, through tools such as language- learning apps,
multimedia resources, and interactive platforms, offers learners flexible and engaging
opportunities to practice language skills beyond the tradi- tional classroom. Meanwhile,
corpus linguistics provides learners and teachers access to authentic language data,
enabling the study of vocabulary, grammar, and usage patterns in real-world contexts.
The study analyzes how these tech- nologies influence vocabulary acquisition,
grammatical understanding, and overall language proficiency. By using a mixed-methods
approach, data was collected from teachers and learners in different educational settings.
The find- ings suggest that incorporating digital tools and corpora in language teaching
creates a more interactive, personalized learning environment, allowing stu- dents to
engage with authentic language use in meaningful ways.
