Abstract

This research used a case study and Data Driven Learning
approach to address an existing gap in literature on corpus-based
English language learning in the Thai context. Specifically, the researcher
investigated students’ problem-solving processes when they had direct
access to corpus data and their views on using corpus data as a linguistic
reference. Using data collected through think-aloud, interview, and
survey techniques with two Thai students, the findings of this study
suggest how corpus consultation may help students to acquire proficiency
with English collocations to become more autonomous learners. However,
some difficulties resulting from the students’ use of the tool were also
found, suggesting that students should be provided with step-by-step
instructions in how to deal with corpus data.
