Saudi Students Attitudes towards the Use of Corpora in Learning Collocations
2018
Corpus linguistics has been used for over three decades in language teaching but not until now has it become a mainstream approach to language learning in the classroom in Saudi Arabia. There is a lack of published studies that explore the use of corpora in teaching English in the Saudi context. To address this gap, the study evaluated the use of corpora in English foreign language (EFL) classrooms by examining a group of students at a Northern Border University in Saudi Arabia. Specifically, this study examined students' attitudes towards the data-driven learning approach (DDL) in general, the use of a corpus resource (AntConc), and concordance-based materials in particular that were elicited using reflective forms and in-depth interviews. The study's qualitative and quantitative data indicate that overall, the students have positive attitudes towards the DDL approach and see it as beneficial to developing the English language; and increased confidence and proficiency of their English language. The results indicate that the students were able to make useful generalisations and adaptations of the DDL approach in dealing with concordance lines. They were also positive towards the DDL approach and were able to recognise the benefits for using it in learning collocations (verb-noun collocations).
