The digital revolution has significantly influenced language education, and one of its most notable effects is the growing use of language corpora. For years, corpora have played an indirect role in areas such as reference publishing, syllabus design, material development, language testing, and teacher training (McEnery & Xiao, 2011). More recently, they’ve been used directly in classrooms—to teach students about corpora, to show how to use them, and to leverage them as tools for language learning (Fligelstone, 1993). Thanks to the rise of free and accessible corpora, user-friendly concordance tools, and corpus-informed teaching materials, corpus linguistics has shifted from a niche resource to a central tool in language education.
