Özet

In English preparatory schools in Turkey, traditional methods  involving book-based controlled practic exercises and translation activities are still used to teach vocabulary. Teachers and administrators are not familiar with corpus-aided language learning since it’s a relatively novel approach to language pedagogy. To demonstrate the feasibility of corpus-aided language learning to the learners, teachers and researchers and to provide the teachers and administrators with a modern alternative for teaching vocabulary in the classroom, this study provides evidence for students’ receptiveness to such new approaches in teaching and learning. At the pedagogical level, thanks to this study EFL students have learned to make use of these authentic resources professionally throughout their life.
