In this episode of Didaktik:Dialog, I speak with didactics and linguistics expert Sandra Reitbrecht from the University of Bamberg about the use of digital corpora in teaching and teacher education. We discuss what data-driven learning entails and how corpora provide insights into language use, word combinations, morphological structures, and historical language changes. The conversation also explores how learners can become researchers themselves through working with language data and the important role teachers play in guiding and supporting the use of corpora. Sandra shares perspectives from both research and practice, showing how corpora can enrich teaching and enhance learners’ language competence.
