Call for Papers: Language Learning and Technology Special Issue on Corpora in Language Learning and Teaching

Corpora in their many guises have been applied for the purposes of language learning and language teaching since they emerged in their modern form in the 1960s. Whereas originally, more pedagogical applications were of indirect nature with corpus-based studies informing the contents of textbooks and reference grammars, recent years have seen an exponential growth of more direct applications, also known as Data-Driven Learning (DDL). These developments have been documented in a variety of publications, most notably in the series of edited volumes containing selected papers from the biannual Teaching and Language Corpora (TaLC) conferences as well as special issues of several major journals. Since the only LLT special issue on this topic was published in 2001, the time has now come to take stock of the new developments in how corpora can be of help to language teachers, learners, and other users.
