Trinity College London - Useful Corpus resources

Trinity College London - Useful Corpus resources | Tools for Teachers & Learners | Scoop.it
Traditionally, language teaching focused on vocabulary and grammar as two separate components of linguistic skills. It was believed that once learners acquire lexical items and internalise grammatical rules, they will be able to combine these components and apply them in communicative situations. However, there is a growing body of evidence that shows that in order to communicate successfully, learners also need to acquire expressions and structures that lie between lexis and grammar, so called lexico-grammar

A really interesting resource.
