Corpus Linguistics and Second Language Acquisition – The use of ACORN in the teaching of Spanish Grammar Guadalupe Ruiz Yepes

Introduction  Demands for authentic language use in the teaching of a second language  Observing corpora has helped to reveal patterns of real language use  ACORN project aims to provide corpus analyses in output formats suitable for teaching and learning  Goals of using corpora in Grammar Clinics: show students many more examples (than in grammar books) authentic examples corpora as self-access support while writing essays, preparing for exams

Case study  Beginners’ grammar clinics group (GC1) Corpus-based approach explain grammar topic; create exercises involving corpus search for examples that match grammar statements Deductive method  Advanced grammar clinics group (GC2) Corpus-driven approach lexical items (eg verbs, prepositions) are specified; students analyse concordances themselves; they find, list and explain the frequent grammar patterns Inductive method

Corpus-based exercises in GC1: ser and estar SER In equational sentences of the sort A=B, where A and B are nouns or pronouns. With adjectives or adjectival phrases referring to identity or nature. Followed by de + noun to denote origin or the material something is made of. In impersonal statements. ESTAR To describe state as opposed to identity or nature. Followed by de + adjective or noun to indicate mood, temporary employment or situation. To indicate location.
