Over the past forty years, the use of English corpora in the English-language classroom has increasingly become prevalent. Given the pedagogical importance of corpora, this workshop aims to showcase how the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA) can be creatively used in teaching English collocations. In the workshop, participants will first be introduced to the concept of mutual information (MI), an important measure of associational strength of the collocations. Research has shown that non-native speakers of English tend to overuse collocations with low MI scores, while natives favor less frequent collocations with high MI scores. Following this, participants will learn how to interpret the MI scores of the collocations found in COCA. The workshop ends with three hands-on activities showing how teachers can increase students' awareness of collocations with high MI scores. The activities presented in the workshop would be the most beneficial for upper-intermediate students.
