Abstract
- The use of corpora in language teaching is an important topic, since practice is aimed at ensuring that the teaching material is focused on the language in use. The process of creating activities for language teaching can be improved by using corpus data and computational tools in linguistic analysis. This study describes a system for text analysis and automatic creation of English reading activities. The results show that the system allows the development of teaching materials that focus on language in use and it also provides varied linguistic analysis, with less human effort, to the task of developing reading activities.
