Daryl Beres on 10 Nov 10"I was unaware of exactly what could be gained from using corpora, having never done so, nor had I seen it mentioned in the numerous coursebooks I had used. In fact, the extent to which corpora have infiltrated teaching is not non-existent but remains marginal. A DELTA assignment later and the week before I was to give an input session on using concordances in the classroom, various colleagues sidled up to me muttering, "So, er, what's a concordance?" This is perhaps the most sensible place to begin."
