Abstract
Corpus data don't need to be useful only in linguistic reasearch, but can also be used in education, in teaching foreign languages. The use of the DDL method in the process of teaching a foreign language is usually limited to the academic world and English language.
The text focuses on DDL method in teaching Czech as a foreign language and the benefits of using exercises based on concordance output in the Czech National Corpus. Corpus based data-driven learning provides a large number of instances of real context.
Data-driven learning (DDL) centers on students' autonomy, in contrast to traditional teaching mode in which learners only rely on books and dictionaries to learn a word. Teachers change from initiators into the organizers and counselors of teaching.
The relation between teachers and students has thus become more mutually cooperative. One of the main techniques of corpus linguistics is a word concordance, which should also be a common means of data-driven learning.
