@article{2017,title={LEARNER PERSPECTIVES TOWARDS CORPUS USE IN VOCABULARY LEARNING},abstractNode={The study reports the findings of a survey conducted in the form of a questionnaire to investigate learner response to the application of data-driven learning (DDL) approach in the context of vocabulary teaching. The questionnaire aimed to assess the learner perception of and attitude to corpus use in learning vocabulary, as a part of a larger scale experimental study aimed at teaching spatial prepositions using DDL techniques and Cognitive Linguistics (CL) approach. The participants of the study were 29 second-year undergraduate students majoring in English. The findings revealed both positive feelings and concerns relative to corpus use although benefits, as are indicated by learners, overweighed disadvantages. Overall, the majority of the learners were highly satisfied with the application of corpus to vocabulary learning. Particularly, their concern was related to the hands-on DDL, which, as the learners stated, presented varying degree of difficulties to them. Also, learners were divided in their views with regard to the need for instructor guidance. The study concluded with the implications and suggestions for future DDL practices in English language teaching.},author={Abdurrahman KİLİMCİ},year={2017},journal={International Journal of Language Academy}}
