Shed Light

The topic of collocation has drawn attention for the past three decades in the lexical area of theoretical and applied linguistics. Our research team developed and evaluated a corpus-based assisted tool for collocation learning in Spanish. Based on the two constructed corpora (CEATE and CPEIC) and a Spanish collocation extraction tool (HCE), this computer-assisted learning tool, SpColEDRS, is easy to use to detect errors and also suggests revisions for Spanish collocations. Based on the evaluation, the research results indicated that the tool developed in this research can assist learners effectively, especially in the case of beginners. In addition, the results of the satisfaction survey provided positive confirmation of the effectiveness of this tool in assisting the learning of Spanish collocations. Finally, this study shed light on pedagogical applications of the constructed corpora and the learning of Spanish collocation with a corpus-based approach in a multilingual acquisition setting.

Computer assisted learning is an increasingly important area of education especially now, in digital era. The past thirty years have seen increasingly rapid advances in the ICT infrastructure development in the educational facilities. However, this is just one part of the aspects needed for modernisation and innovation of education. The chapter discusses the situation in Slovakia, its rather well-developed infrastructure but it also points out how important it is to focus on teacher, learner and interaction in any – face-to-face, technology assisted or virtual environment. Numerous studies provide important insights into the situation where teachers have the possibilities and facilities, however, they are not trained to use them effectively. The author brings the survey based on the published studies, research results, statistics and her own experience.
