  • Corpus-based approach to teaching English tenses in Slovenian tertiary education
    Rižnar, Igor, 1961-
    The article deals with a corpus-based approach to teaching the English tense system in a Slovenian tertiary institution. In addition to offering online support (Moodle) in Business English courses ... taught at the Faculty of Management, University of Primorska, Business English teachers rely on corpus-based approach in their efforts to provide learning support to student strying to master the English tense system. Corpus-based approach in teaching represents a shift towards a learner-centred paradigm of discovery learning which enables students to test their own hypotheses and discover their own rules in the process of the so-called data-driven learning. In addition, corpus examples also expose students to sentences and structures that they will encounter when using the language in real-life business situations. Hard and fast rules regarding English tenses should be substituted by corpus-based data-driven hypothesis testing learner-centred notions.
