Abstract

Large online English corpora are important resources to enhance English teaching and learning owing to their large scale, authentic data, fast speed and free online use. This study examined the role of online English corpus COCA and BNC in promoting English learners’ in-depth acquisition of vocabulary knowledge, especially productive vocabulary knowledge. After a three-month teaching intervention of computer-assisted vocabulary learning, the results of the vocabulary knowledge tests of the subjects were analyzed. The findings confirmed two hypotheses: i. Computer-assisted vocabulary learning can expand the depth of L2 learners’ vocabulary knowledge and promote their vocabulary competence. ii. There are differences in the depth of L2 vocabulary acquisition among learners with different L2 proficiency and vocabulary levels.
