Preparing teaching materials for Task-Based Learning with WordSmith Tools and corpora

Authors

  • Tony Berber Sardinha

Abstract

In this paper, I present a few ways in which the WordSmith Tools (Scott, 1997) corpus analysis suite can be used to prepare teaching materials within the framework of Task-Based Learning for teaching English as a Foreign Language. As such, I hope to contribute to spreading the potential of the software among practitioners in the field of EFL.

Key words: corpus linguistics, Task-Based Learning, WordSmith Tools.
