摘要：The prevalence of computers, increased opportunities of Internet access, availability of large amounts of target language data, all of these call for language teachers’ greater interest in the active use of corpora both for the classroom (in materials development) and in the classroom (for learner discovery tasks). Contrary to the pre-Internet era, when corpus consultation procedures were largely restricted to linguists and lexicographers due to technological, financial and logistical considerations, the language teachers of the Web 2.0 age will find it much easier to access, compile and consult corpora for language teaching. The aim of the present paper is to provide an overview of available corpus resources, proceeding from ready-made corpora to be consulted on the Internet by teachers of English, French and German, through the approach and tools for using the Web as a Corpus (WaC), finally proceeding to the compilation of custom-made (“ad-hoc”) corpus collections to suit the needs of particular teaching contexts. The paper concludes with a comparative review of a few widely available concordancers to be used with teacher-made corpora.
