The integration of corpus into English language teaching and learning has marked a major shift in both methodology and pedagogy. Before corpus technology, linguistic descriptions relied on what native speakers knew about the language or how they perceived it, rather than on how the language was practically used. By analyzing language data in corpora, teachers can develop the methodology that focus on specific language skills, such as grammar, vocabulary, speaking, listening, reading, and writing. This helps students improve their language skills in a more targeted and effective way. This article studies improving the methodology for the development of students’ oral discourse competence through a corpus-based approach by developing educational materials, exercises and tasks.
