Abstract

Corpus analysis adopts computer assisted method to process electronic language database to reveal language operational models with statistic methods, which usually centered on phenomenon of probability. The research tries to explore ways to integrate corpus technology in college English and to investigate if corpus-based teaching is effective. It adopted constructivism approach to design the lessons with corpus technology. Students were asked to translate corpus produced basic word list in their filed, learn vocabulary with corpus’s processed results and retell text with high-frequency word cloud. A quasi-experiment with 81 non-English major colleges students was carried out for 6 weeks. The results showed students’ post test scores were significantly higher than the pretest scores. Therefore, it drew the conclusion that corpus-based college English was effective. This research shed lights on the possible use of corpus technology in college English to promote the vocabulary learning outcome of college students.
