Abstrakt
The lecture presents the possibility of using language corpora in learning and teaching Czech as a foreign language. The first part is focused on basic information about Czech language corpora, esp. learner corpora (CzeSL, Merlin) and Data-Driven Learning (DDL), a method which uses corpus data in language teaching.
The text briefly presents the application of this method in teaching Czech as a foreign language. The second part is devoted to the tools used in work with corpus data.
There are applications for Czech such as SyD and EVALD being developed at the Institute of Formal and Applied Linguistics at Charles University. The third part presents concrete types of exercises for students which can be used during the class.
In summary the author points out the wide use of language corpora in foreign language teaching and its importance for foreign language students without a direct contact with the target language.
