The corpus-informed teacher is one who is tuned into a specific range of reference books, online resources and tools, all of which can be beneficial to teacher development and language learning. Yet ELT teachers might view corpora as being daunting or technical, making them shy away from this area. This talk aims to show that being corpus-informed is really quite straightforward. It will provide some background to this area while providing a quick tour of corpus-related links and resources.

Gerard is an English language teacher and CELTA teacher-trainer based in Dublin. He has taught widely in Spain and Ireland and recently completed an MA in Applied Linguistics at MIC Limerick.
