In such countries as Turkey, where EFL (English as a Foreign Language) is
the basic language teaching policy, the incorporation of grammar into language
teaching has proven to be a must. However, to eliminate the concerns that revitalizing
grammar in language classrooms might be resuming to traditional classrooms, the
methodology to be adopted seems to be of vital importance. This paper aims to
characterize a corpus based discovery learning procedure, in which learners are
subjected to specific questions and experiences in such a fashion as to discover a
given concept. This study offers a procedure that uses the Corpus in the classroom to
teach a pre-determined grammar focus item.Unlike traditional ways, with this
approach, learning can be facilitated through a specific teaching methodology,
arousing a curiosity as well as posing a challenge. Thus, while the language focus is
not limited to a discreet grammatical item, it is presented in a context, mainly
sketched by corpus linguistics.The course methodology suggested in this article could
inspire new insights into teaching lexico-grammar in EFL contexts by utilizing the
facilities of ICT (Information and Communications Technology).
