Corpus Linguistics and Digital Environments in English: from Academic Research to English Language Learning, Testing and Assessment

This study is collocated in the field of Corpus Linguistics, English Language Teaching and English for Academic Purposes. It investigates the potential of corpus-based techniques to analyse students’ written productions in digital environments and to offer insights for e-assessment tools and syllabus development in both general and academic English. The research adopts a corpus-informed approach to online language learning and testing, combining linguistic analysis, assessment practices, and data-driven pedagogical applications. Drawing on a corpus of students’ written texts produced in e-learning contexts, the study explores to what extent corpus-based analysis can effectively describe L2 learner productions and how findings derived from such analyses can inform pedagogical interventions and testing practices. By linking corpus-based research with digital teaching and assessment processes in English, the study aims to strengthen the connection between empirical linguistic research and educational practice.
