与许多中级写作者依赖的孤立的词典词条相比,语料库具有在语篇层面支持二语写作过程的潜力。为了利用这一资源,学习者需要接受培训,包括练习语料库研究和参考技巧,以及学习在自己的文章背景下进行基于数据的概括。本文报道了一个语料库训练模块,该模块在一个中级英语写作课程中实施,并教会学生如何参考语料库,以自我纠正教师编码的错误。在回顾了整个培训过程后,文章最后总结了学生对整个过程的反应。本文的一个主要目的是指导教师准备中级二语作者的学习者索引,使他们能够为学生提供一个替代传统的词典检索参考。
Corpora have the potential to support the L2 writing process at the discourse level in contrast to the isolated dictionary entries that many intermediate writers rely on. To take advantage of this resource, learners need to be trained, which involves practising corpus research and referencing skills as well as learning to make data-based generalizations within the context of their own essays. This article reports on a corpus training module that was implemented in an intermediate-level EFL writing course and which taught students how to refer to corpora for the purpose of self-correcting teacher-coded errors. After reviewing the full training sequence, the article concludes with students’ reactions to the overall process. A major aim of this article is to guide teachers in preparing intermediate L2 writers for learner concordancing, so they can offer students an alternative reference to traditional dictionary searches.
