Vocabulary knowledge is a core component of second language (L2) proficiency. The critical importance of vocabulary learning is acknowledged by L2 learners, teachers, and researchers alike. Vocabulary development is a growing area of interest in second language research in our increasingly technologized world where rapid technological advancement and widespread access to high-speed internet have started to provide unique and promising opportunities for language teaching and learning. This paper aims to present an overview of computer corpora and concordancing and their potential role in second language vocabulary learning. After providing a brief introduction to the construct of vocabulary knowledge and the role of computer technology in language learning, the paper focuses on the use of computer corpora and concordancing in L2 vocabulary teaching and learning. The paper then presents an example of a KWIC (Keyword in Context) concordance display in order to demonstrate the kinds of lexical information that a number of concordance lines can provide about the target word. Some concordance-based vocabulary activities are also provided. This paper is hoped to help L2 researchers, teachers and learners become more aware of the potential role of computer corpora and concordances in the development of L2 vocabulary knowledge in our highly technologized world
