Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.". Likewise, students expect their well-rounded teachers to teach how to gain accurate knowledge with help of technology. The usage of corpus is currently remarkable for language classes. Accordingly, this material -there is a link below- aims to make students use corpus autonomously to help the teaching process.
