Features: This book aims to explore: (1) What is the theoretical foundation of corpus application in foreign language teaching? (2) What are the principles, methods, and strategies of corpus application in the field of foreign language teaching? Its theoretical significance lies in clarifying: (1) The positioning of corpus-based foreign language education and teaching in disciplines such as corpus linguistics, education, and applied linguistics; (2) The theoretical foundation and methodological strategies of corpus application in foreign language education and teaching. Its practical significance is to provide substantive guidance and assistance to foreign language teachers and researchers who are increasingly exposed to corpora, both theoretically and in practical application. The principle of writing this book is first to collect and review domestic and international literature as much as possible, summarize, synthesize, and refine the theories and research methods within it; second, to describe and conduct feedback surveys on the practical application of corpora in foreign language teaching by grassroots teaching units. On the one hand, it improves theoretical understanding, and on the other hand, it provides guidance and demonstration in implementation methods. Specifically, it starts by dissecting a large number of research cases, focusing on exploring their deep theoretical support, research methods, and practical operational processes, allowing readers to learn from others' research experience while also having the opportunity to practice and innovate themselves.
