Corpus Skills and DDL for teachers training

Abstract: This project aims to improve the training of Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) by promoting the use of the Data-Driven Learning (DDL) approach, specifically focusing on Corpus Literacy. The goal is to develop Corpus Skills (CS) in TESOL, which are vital abilities to interpret linguistic data from a language database. The objective is to enhance teachers' proficiency in using linguistic databases, enabling them to extract valuable information. Our research is aligned with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 4 (Quality Education) and 5 (Gender Equality), providing equal opportunities for both male and female teachers to access DDL training. Ultimately, this project can significantly impact language education and contribute to achieving these global development goals.
