Abstract

Using high-speed computers, it is now possible to use concordancers, which are recognized by educators as a potentially useful tool, as a means to develop vocabulary and understand language structures in real language context. In this study, three concordancers as well as two concordancing related tasks were introduced to high proficient EFL students. Using a 20-item survey questionnaire, students’ perceptions of and attitudes toward the use of concordancers and the concordancing related tasks (e.g., vocabulary diary and gap-fill tasks) were determined. In addition, implications of the findings for teaching and learning in EFL contexts were discussed.
