Abstract

This chapter shows how learner-centered corpus-designed activities can be effectively implemented while catering to learners' cognitive styles. Examples of corpus-designed activities implemented through a foreign language in higher education are provided and the role of cognitive styles in task performance is analyzed. The use of keyword lists and lexical bundles to design corpus-designed activities is investigated. As a result, foreign language acquisition and the personalization process are discussed within an applied corpus linguistics framework.
