Corpora and English Learning
Lexical competence recently has been identified to be the most significant predictor to general language ability (Carter&McCarthy, 1988:97); however, it is also identified by most learners to be one of the biggest challenges of language learning (Coady&Huckin, 1997:1;Cobb, 1999).
