內容簡介

本書作者Laura Gavioli是莫德納和勒佐艾米利亞大學的教授,多年來致力於語料庫在語言教學、翻譯教學和專門用途英語教學中的套用方面的研究。本書探究了基於語料庫的學習方式對ESP教學中二語習得的影響,全書共分七章:引言、語料庫語言學和語言教學的背景概況、理論前提、語料庫和專門用途英語的關係、教師如何指導學習者研究語料庫和數據、學習者探索語料庫的過程和語言產出結果,以及結論。本書內容聚焦語料庫語言學和專門用途語言的結合點,探討了數據驅動學習的理論前提,探索了學生自主學習的方法和可行性。結果表明,在教學中使用語料庫數據分析的方法,可以引發有關語料庫語言學從理論和實踐兩個角度對教學的意義進行討論和反思。
本書對於語料庫語言學和專門用途語言教學的教材設計者、套用語言學家、教師和學習者都具有很強的理論和實踐指導意義。
