| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Findings indicate that learners were generally successful in correcting their collocation errors with a corpus; however, the interpretative demands placed on them to address these errors played an important role in their degree of success. Overall, the more interpretation and analysis required to come to a conclusion, the less likely learners were to make a successful correction. This not only points to the importance of practicing analytical skills, but also what types of errors learners are capable of correcting with a corpus. In short, error corrections that do not require a significant investment of time and analysis are likely most productive for learners. Striking this balance may be an important aspect in successfully introducing corpus referencing to the foreign language classroom.
