VLC305 (currently under construction) aims at providing learners of English as a foreign language with knowledge about corpora and corpus linguistics, basic skills in conducting corpus queries, and practical applications for using corpora for typical everyday language problems. Participants will be given theoretical knowledge regarding six areas that are typically difficult for learners of the English language. Furthermore, they will then be shown concrete writing problems in these areas and guided through conducting corpus analyses to solve these problems.
