Corpus Perspectives on the Spoken Models used by EFL Teachers is a comprehensive guide that delves into the fundamental principles and practical guidelines for designing and utilizing corpora in classroom-based research. Focusing on the nature of spoken English used by L2 teachers, which serves as an implicit target model for learners alongside the curriculum model, this book offers a fresh perspective on the ongoing academic debate surrounding the models of spoken English taught today. Conducted through extensive research in the EFL classroom in Ireland, this book explores the issues and challenges that arise from the use of non-standard varieties of spoken English by teachers, alongside the use of Standard British English, and examines the controversies surrounding sociolinguistic approaches to the study of variation in spoken English.

By combining quantitative corpus linguistic investigations with qualitative functional discourse analytic approaches from pragmatics and SLA, the book demonstrates how changing trends and perspectives surrounding spoken English may be filtering down to the classroom level.

Drawing on a corpus of 60,000 words, the book provides valuable strategies and techniques that researchers and teachers can apply to their own research contexts. It is an essential reading for all pre- and in-service teachers of EFL, as well as researchers in the field.
