corpus analysis, DDL, activisationAbstract
Recently, teaching and learning processes have been significantly influenced by modern technologies. Thus, the teacher’s position as the only authority in the classroom has been changed into playing the role of a guide or a facilitator who should possess the knowledge and skills to use modern technologies and to freely access data. This change is particularly visible in the field of teaching and learning languages with the application of various educational platforms and software. Since this situation has been widely discussed since the 1990s, for the sake of this article only selected aspects have been taken into account. The major focus of the present article is to present language corpus analysis as a method of activating teachers and students as participants in the Data-Driven Learning (DDL) process.
