The Correlation between Learners’ Logs of Navigations through Online Corpora and Lexical Competence

The current study investigated the relationship between students’ lexical competence and their logs of online corpora embedded to a learning management system. The participants of the study were 68 undergraduate students enrolled in a medical school at a Turkish state university. The instruction was delivered through Moodle. The data collection instruments were a vocabulary knowledge scale and a collocation test both revealing ideal reliability and validity indices. Partial correlation was conducted to analyze the data. Findings revealed that there was a positive correlation between the durations of language learners’ navigations of online corpora and their acquisitions of academic words and prepositional phrases
