  • Abstract
    In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the use of corpora in foreign language education. The results of past studies suggest that it is effective for learners with high language proficiency. This study attempts to incorporate the use of corpora for teaching engineering students with limited language proficiency. Student feedback suggests that even with their limited English proficiency, they found it beneficial to use corpora in language learning.
