| Details | This study aimed to investigate the effects of corpus use on learning L2 collocations, specifically how information extracted from corpus data assisted learners in retaining and producing collocations. Fifty-five intermediate English learners from a university in Tokyo looked up verb-noun collocations by consulting either the corpus or the dictionaries, noted related information, and wrote short essays on the topics related to the collocations. Pre- and post-tests were conducted to assess learning. It was found that corpus use promoted a greater collocation output than dictionary use because of the many example sentences and frequency of co-occurrence words. The corpus users focused on word combinations and looked up high-frequency collocations, while the dictionary users focused on meaning, then looked up and memorized the collocations. |
