Abstract
This study provided 10-week training in corpus linguistics and its relation to language teaching. Nineteen English teachers were randomly selected. It sought to give content for the training course in using corpus linguistics in language teaching. It also tried to find the effect of corpus linguistics on language teaching. The study adopts the quasi-experimental design in terms of using a pretest/ posttest design: paired sample t-test. A Corpus Linguistics Test was used as a pretest/posttest. It proved that there are statistically significant differences between the mean scores the corpus linguistics pretest and posttest in favour of the posttest scores.
Keywords: Teacher education, in-service, development, corpus linguistics
