II.LITERATURE REVIEW 
Currently, corpuses of written and oral texts 
are successfully used in teaching a foreign language 
and in linguistic pedagogy. Lists of active vocabulary of 
students, frequency lists of terms for use in 
professional courses, etc. are formed on the basis of 
the corpus. Academic dictionaries and textbook 
developers rely on authentic text arrays (Corpora). In 
addition, collections, libraries and arrays of texts 
reflect the real functioning of a particular language, 
and their transfer to computer environments only 
intensified their practical and widespread use in 
applied linguistics. 
III.ANALYSIS 
Corpus linguistics provides material for various 
kinds of studies of the language and its variants, and 
determines the main method of text analysis based on 
corpus (Corpus-Based Approach). The corpus 
approach, or the method of linguistic research based 
on text corpuses, is focused on the applied study of 
the language, its functioning in real environments and 
texts, which is important for language teaching. For 
example, corpus-based lexicographic analysis clearly 
helps to reveal the contextual use of certain words, 
especially synonymous ones (for example, small / 
little, big / large), their frequency compatibility with 
other words, their regularity in certain styles, and 
clearly define their semantics. 
The main characteristics of the method, which 
determine its reliability and validity, are as follows: 
- is empirical and analyzes real word usage 
in a natural language environment, 
- uses a sufficiently large, representative 
selection of texts, 
- actively uses computers and special 
concordance programs for analysis in automatic and 
interactive modes of operation, 
- based on the methods of statistical and 
qualitative analysis of the text, 
- is target, i.e. should be focused on real 
application and results. 
One of the important features of the text 
corpus-based analysis method is the study not only of 
purely linguistic phenomena (grammatical or lexical 
functions of words, their connections with other 
lexemes), but also of such phenomena as, for 
example, the frequency of lexemes or grammatical 
structures in certain genres, dialects. 
Electronic Corpuses in Language Teaching 
Electronic corpora provide rich linguistic 
material for teaching and research purposes. 
Currently, the Internet contains many classic electronic 
corpora in foreign languages. The most famous of 
them are the British and American national corpuses of 
the English language, the German-language corpuses 
LIMAS, COSMAS. The most accessible for the average 
user-teacher of foreign languages are Gutenberg
