Details While the strengths of corpora in L2 learning have been stated, error correction in data-driven learning (DDL) settings has only been investigated in a few studies. Satake (2018) examined the effects of corpus use on L2 error correction and found that corpus use especially promoted accurate correction of article and preposition omission errors. Although She did not prepare a pool of particular errors a priori, focusing on article and preposition omission errors could promote more accurate correction of these errors. Thus, this study explored the effects of corpus use on correction of article and preposition omission errors. The results show that error correction with corpus use focusing on article and preposition omission errors contributed to more accurate correction of these errors. It also contributed to more accurate error identification by peer students. The findings suggest that effective corpus use for error correction requires teachers to focus on particular error types.
