Corpus Related

Since we want something related to TW, and probably something can be related to our study, I found a local journal which is “Technical University English-major Junior Students' Difficulties and Attitudes toward Using Web-based Corpus in an English Writing Class ”

The results of the study indicated that the participants believed that web-based corpus were helpful for the following areas: the usage of vocabulary (83%), the learning of vocabulary meaning (80%), and the usage of phrases (76%). Their difficulties in corpus use were unfamiliar vocabulary in the corpus output and too many sentences in the corpus output. Only 63% of the participants believed that the web-based corpus was helpful for improving their English writing skills.
I thought this would be useful. Similar to what I have guessed, CORPUS helps most in vocabularies (phrases, too.) Through this study we might find out the insufficiency or diffuculties of this system; therefore, some adjustment might be done, like enhancing its function. Also my classmates' idea of combining SCOTS Corpus with teaching, Business English, and culture impressed me.
