Computer corpora in language learning: DST approaches to research
Alex Boulton 1
(2012-09-03)

Computer corpora can be used by teachers and learners in L2 learning, and have been subject to a considerable number of empirical studies. The results are generally positive, if not always entirely conclusive. This paper explores what light dynamic systems theory can shed on these results, and concludes that they are typical of much research in the field of applied linguistics as a whole due to the inherently complex nature of language learning itself.
