Abstract

English vocabulary and lexical collocation and use are the basic manifestations of college students' English proficiency and ability. This paper puts forward the application of computer corpus software to the college vocabulary teaching. Through the definition of probability, application prospect and theoretical explanation, this paper expatiates on the process of computer corpus serving college English vocabulary teaching. With English national corpus (BNC) as the software basis, we conducted an empirical research on vocabulary teaching. Finally, the differences between computer corpus teaching and traditional vocabulary teaching are analyzed and discussed through experimental comparison. The experimental results show that the computer corpus based collage English vocabulary practice is of larger breadth, deeper depth and higher initiative in vocabulary learning.

Highlights

  • Human expression is limited without grammar and impossible without vocabulary

  • It can be seen that the requirements of college English vocabulary are not limited to quantity, but include the deep understanding of vocabulary, so as to enhance the ability of lexical use

  • Limited by the language environment, college students have insufficient chances to communicate with native English speakers, to the disadvantage of deep understanding of vocabulary [4]

Summary

Introduction

Human expression is limited without grammar and impossible without vocabulary. As one of the three main components of language, vocabulary is the material in constructing language and the unit of language meaning, playing an important role in language study. It can be seen that the requirements of college English vocabulary are not limited to quantity, but include the deep understanding of vocabulary, so as to enhance the ability of lexical use. English vocabulary and lexical collocation and use plays a pivotal role in English language learning, and lexical teaching is a basic part of English teaching [2,3]. As an auxiliary tool of language teaching, corpus have abundant real materials of native English users that provide reference for collage English learning and the understanding of lexical meanings. Limited by the language environment, college students have insufficient chances to communicate with native English speakers, to the disadvantage of deep understanding of vocabulary [4]. Through the introduction of corpus teaching, this paper provides an English vocabulary learning platform to help student users grasp the lexical connotations in multiple levels and dimensions. With the application of the college English platform to classroom teaching, we verify the helpfulness of corpus in improving English vocabulary, lexical depth, vocabulary matching, and vocabulary application ability
