Corpus Research Applications in Second Language Teaching: A Look into Corpus-informed Materials Development

Numerous corpus studies have suggested that teaching materials design could greatly benefit from the empirical information about language use provided by corpus linguistics. In spite of the awareness that corpus-based research can offer valuable insights for materials development, still relatively small number of studies report on the practical applications of corpus data for teaching materials development. There is no clear guideline or framework on how corpora and corpus studies could assist in developing teaching materials. Hence, this study focusses on one grammatical item which poses problems to Malaysian learners, that is, prepositions. The objectives are (i) to identify prepositions in the British National Corpus as a reference corpus and the descriptions offered by linguists and grammarians as a reference grammar, and (ii) to provide a framework to use reference corpus, reference grammar and corpus-based research, as a resource for developing materials in the teaching of prepositions. In order to meet the objectives, content analysis was used as the methodology throughout this study. The findings showed that reference corpus, reference grammar and corpus-based research could be used systematically as guidance to develop corpus-informed materials. It is hoped that this contribution of knowledge could have an impact on second language learning-teaching.

The use of gamification in higher technical education: perception of university students on innovative teaching materials

Education for sustainable development is considered a key element of quality. However, nearly-graduated students of architecture perceive that during their training there is a lack in the use of innovative teaching materials such as building simulation performance tools (BPSTs). This document examines the material included in the architectural project subjects within the degree in architecture focused on sustainable development. The conclusions were obtained after developing two workshops accomplished by a set of nearly-graduated students of architecture. As per the results obtained, learning through such innovative material is mainly influenced by the difficulties found by the students due to the non-use of BPSTs during their previous training, the high motivation of the students related to the easy acquisition of theoretical concepts through the use of numerical analysis, and the high concern of the students about their poor background on environmental issues. This study concludes that the syllabuses of the architectural project subjects within the degree in architecture must urgently incorporate the use of BPSTs. Universities are urged to make decisions on this issue. Furthermore, the design of graphic analysis must be adapted to the language of architects in order to help them understand the theoretical concepts pertaining to the technical aspects of architecture. Finally, the design of innovative teaching material significantly influences the motivation of students and therefore their learning process. This article also suggests a set of action lines in order to find a solution for this problem.

This study was conducted on some reasons: first, autonomous learning is very significant in the success of learners‟ learning, and to make the learners implement autonomous learning is quite tricky. Second, the use of Hot Potatoes as the software is very simple and fun to publish any education materials online, and as a result, the students like the program. Therefore, it is very challenging for the teacher to find a way to promote autonomous learning to the students through the use of a simple education software called „Hot Potatoes‟. The study was aimed at exploring the roles of Hot Potatoes in English teaching and learning. Further, it also explored the advantages of the Hot Potatoes in developing the students‟ ability or habit in having autonomy in their learning. This research was a qualitative case study in nature since it dealt with a holistic description. The setting of the research was Muhammadiyah University of Yogyakarta with 10 students who have implemented Hot Potatoes in designing teaching materials for them to use at schools. The procedure to collect the data was through questionnaires and interviews with the participants. In analyzing the data, the researcher first categorized the data gained from the questionnaires and then extracted the information from the data collected through the interview process. The data were then grouped into categories and interpreted in accordance with the research questions. The study found that students first had awareness to be better in mastering English due to their online publishing the teaching materials developed with Hot Potatoes. They were aware that by publishing materials online, people all around the globe would have a chance to stop by and read the materials. This awareness led them to learn by themselves on the grammar of the sentences they wrote. As a result, they started looking up grammar books to check if the grammar was appropriate or not. The same process also happened to the choice of words and the spelling of words used in the teaching materials they developed. They checked and rechecked until they were sure of the correctness of the dictions and the spelling. The last but not least is about the cultural issue in the sentences. It dealt with the appropriateness of the sentences they make due to native speakers‟ cultural background. Therefore, the writer concluded that the use of Hot Potatoes promoted autonomy in students‟ learning.
