Little attention has been paid to the use of corpus tools in the Chinese as a second language classroom. To fill this gap, this article explores how to incorporate distinct approaches to data-driven learning (DDL) in teaching different aspects of Chinese lexico-grammar in the classroom. We have proposed systematic instructional procedures that involve hands-on and hands-off DDL, respectively. Such guided-inductive procedures are further illustrated by model DDL instructional activities, which cover the teaching of collocation, near-synonyms, as well as phrasal and sentential patterns. The inductive DDL tasks designed in this project require learners to directly consult Chinese corpora, or indirectly analyze the concordance lines prepared beforehand, all under the guidance of the instructor. The short-term goal is to facilitate the learning of Chinese by helping students discover language patterns based on corpus data. The ultimate goal is to develop learner autonymy, empowering students with the ability to use corpora as a learning aid. |
