Corpus linguistics has had a major impact on applied linguistics research and, to a lesser extent, other fields such as political science or sociology. In education, however, corpus research methods are rarely taught in education faculties, and they are not widely discussed in education research manuals. In this talk, I will discuss look at how corpus linguistics can be made more visible in education. I will look at different approaches to using CL methods in education research and examine the growing number of links between language theories and the wide spectrum of current educational research methods.
