Many researchers have recommended the use of corpus-based findings to inform
material writers as to L2 teaching materials (e.g. Biber & Reppen, 2002; Conrad,
1999; 2000; Carter & McCarthy, 1995; Frazier, 2003; Holmes, 1988; Harwood,
2005; Lawson, 2001, Romer, 2010, Kennedy, 2002). It is with the help of corpusbased
studies that the “scope” of certain features can be investigated (Hulstijn,
1995), and according to Barbieri and Eckhardt (2007), “corpus-based analysis is an
ideal tool to re-evaluate the order of presentation of linguistic features in textbooks
and to make principled decisions about what to prioritize in textbook
presentations”. Without this type of analysis, many believe that scripted textbook
language models and dialogues are frequently unnatural and inappropriate for
communicative language teaching because they depict unrealistic situations and
oversimplify the language.
