Corpus-Based Teaching Material

    Hello everyone!

    My task this time was to prepare Corpus-based teaching material. It was one of the tasks that I really struggled with because corpus was a part that I was not familiar with and that I had not encountered much before. In fact, at first, I wasn't even sure exactly what to prepare.
    By the way, I worked with my friend Merve. In the material we have prepared, students will be able to understand the difference between the words advice and advisee by using the corpus. We chose to use the site called "Skell" because we thought it would be less complicated for our students.
    In fact, the corpus is a system that contains many words, phrases, and synonyms. Therefore, it is, of course, very useful for language learners. Sometimes they can remember a word even from the words used next to them or their synonyms. So, we wanted to use it in our worksheets.
    In my opinion, one of the most important ways to learn a language is to learn vocabulary. The more words you know, the more benefits you get. That's why I would like to include corpus material in my classes in the future.
    You can see the material we have prepared below.


    
And here are the worksheets we used in our material:
