LEARNER CORPORA AND SECOND LANGUAGE ACQUISITION RESEARCH
Main Article Content
Abstract:
Learner corpora are increasingly used in second language acquisition (SLA) research as a reliable source of empirical data. Instead of relying only on intuition or small-scale experiments, researchers can now analyze large collections of learner-produced texts. This article discusses how learner corpora contribute to SLA research by providing insights into interlanguage development, common learner difficulties, and patterns of language use. The paper also considers the relevance of learner corpus findings for language teaching and learning.
