Task 1

When we talk about Courpus, we are refering to a type of source with information about a language, which is held in a database. It helps us to see how language has changed through years, frequency of some words and more.
If we identify a textbook based on Corpus, we can notice that there are used the most frequent words, and easy ways for learnings to get the new language. Corpus is very important in learning of english language, because we need to understand these kind of basic information about this language we are learning for making a good understanding. For example: If we learn some "old words" our understanding of English is going to be different from real. We can use corpus by looking new material about engllish natives: for example, nowadays tecnology is in our side, so, by internet we can find lots of sources that can help us to practice language in a daily life. I think that chilean teachers should add to this useful way of teaching by corpus, because students are going to be more prepared for real English.
