Consultation de corpus et styles d'apprentissage.
Résumé
Corpora offer a powerful new tool with multiple affordances for language learning, but empirical evidence is less convincing than might have been hoped. One possibility is that quantitative results conceal the diversity of learner profiles. This study summarises an experiment where architecture students consulted either a dictionary or a corpus to answer specific questions of usage in English, and completed a feedback questionnaire on the tools and techniques used. These results are then analysed in relation to learning preferences as measured by the Index of Learning Styles, an instrument which goes much further than the traditional inductive-deductive dimensions. If the advantages of corpus consultation can be connected to specific learning styles, this could help teachers to use corpora more efficiently in class and adapt the procedures to different contexts.
