Book excerpt: The use of corpora and corpus technology for language learning and teaching purposes has been on the agenda of researchers, lexicographers and pedagogues for more than two decades now. This volume is intended to take stock of some major developments in corpus-informed language pedagogy and brings together a number of contributions, many of which were originally presented at the Language Technology Section of the LearnTec Conference in Karlsruhe (Germany) in 2005. The contributions present new resources, new tools and new methods for corpus-informed language pedagogy. In general, the papers demonstrate a noticeable shift from the more traditional uses of corpora and corpus technology in linguistic research towards uses with specific pedagogical goals in mind.
