Abstract

 Corpus linguistics has become a central methodological paradigm within applied linguistics, providing empirically grounded insights into authentic language use. By relying on large, machine-readable corpora of naturally occurring texts, applied linguistics has increasingly shifted toward evidence-based descriptions of language structure and use. Despite growing scholarly attention, the pedagogical integration of corpus-based approaches in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) contexts remains inconsistent. This study explores the role of corpus-informed pedagogy in teaching vocabulary and grammar through a six-week Data-Driven Learning (DDL) intervention at the tertiary level. Using a mixed-methods research design, the study combines quantitative pre- and post-test data with qualitative classroom observations and learner questionnaires.
