All chapters in this Open Educational Resource (OER), with the exception of the tutorials, were written by undergraduate students in TESOL and Linguistics, who had no previous knowledge of corpus linguistics before working on this project. Our hope is that with this OER, we can inspire other in-and pre-service teachers who are new to corpus linguistics to develop their own pedagogical materials using corpora. But, let's start from the beginning: What's corpus linguistics? Corpus linguistics is a research methodology that involves the analysis of large collections of language data, or corpora, in order to identify patterns and regularities in language use. Since the late 80s and early 90s, linguists have suggested that corpus tools have the potential to revolutionize language teaching (see Johns, 1986; Rundell & Stock, 1992; Johns, 1991; among others). These researchers point out a number of advantages to using corpus in the classroom, including: • Authenticity: Corpora allows students to explore natural language data.
