Corpus Linguistics for Curriculum Design explores how corpora can be employed in the design of language curricula both for English as a Foreign/Second Language and for other languages.

The book provides an overview of established approaches to curriculum design and guides the reader towards an understanding of how corpora can be used to inform such processes, providing them with the skills needed to use corpora to inform the design of their own curricula. This is the first book to systematically and comprehensively set out what corpus-informed curriculum design can look like, providing in-depth coverage of both General English and English for Specific Purposes. It considers a number of different language areas (grammar, vocabulary, pragmatics etc.), showing how both item selection and ordering within a curriculum can be informed by corpora.

This accessible guide is essential reading for students and researchers in TESOL, Applied Linguistics, ELT, and materials design, as well as language teachers and curriculum designers.
