Authors : Bessidhoum Mahfoudh . Ouahmiche Ghania .

Abstract

In line with the ubiquity of technological tools in education, corpus-based approaches and tools are making a paradigm shift in L2 instruction. Data- driven Learning is one approach that is increasingly gaining ground in the L2 classroom in many countries; however, in Algeria, it is nearly non-existent. Therefore this article aligns with efforts to ‘spread the word’ about corpus-based approaches to Second/Foreign language learning and teaching, particularly Data-driven Learning. The aim is to provide overview on the nature of this approach for Algerian EFL learners, teachers, program administrators as well as syllabus designers, in order to explore potential possibilities for its incorporation into the existing EFL curricula at the tertiary level. Keywords: Corpus-based instruction, Corpus, Corpus work, Data-driven Learning, Spreading the word.
