What Does Frequency Have To Do with Grammar Teaching?

Biber, Douglas; Reppen, Randi

Studies in Second Language Acquisition, v24 n2 p199-208 Jun 2002

Using frequency findings from corpus linguistics, explores the relationship between the information presented in English-as-a-Second/Foreign-Language (ESL/EFL) materials and what is known about actual language use based on empirical studies. Three aspects of materials development for grammar instruction are discussed. (Author/VWL)
