Following this, a questionnaire‐based investigation into Omani teacher beliefs about paragraphing and pedagogical practice is reported, and these self‐reported…

Collocation Dictionaries as Inductive Learning Resources in Data-Driven Learning - An Analysis and Evaluation
Advocacy of corpus-based data-driven learning (DDL) in foreign language learning classrooms has grown in recent years, though DDL has not become particularly widespread in practice. In the same period of time, there has been considerable publishing activity of corpus-based collocation dictionaries; however, the possible role that collocation dictionaries may play in DDL has not, to date, been considered. This paper seeks to analyse what contribut…

In what follows, I question whe…
