| Research Abstract |
In order to implement and promote successful DDL in multilingual foreign language classrooms, we have developed and released two new, simple to use, freeware parallel corpus tools: an online concordancer, WebParaNews, and a standalone multilingual concordancer, AntPConc. The effectiveness of DDL teaching materials for English and Japanese language education using these tools and Japanese-English parallel corpora was measured by pre- and post-tests. Results showed significant gains and positive student feedback, indicating this approach was useful for improving grammar and vocabulary.
