Making trouble-free tasks with corpora

For learners who repeatedly misuse specific vocabulary and grammar, using a corpus (electronic multi-million word collections of real-world language examples) significantly enhances accuracy and competence. Accessible to everyone, with masses of free material to exploit, session participants will leave knowing how to quickly and easily use corpora to design activities that take less than ten minutes to create.
