From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Teaching and Language Corpora (TaLC) is the name of a biennial conference that focusses on data-driven language learning (DDL), an approach to language teaching and learning.

These conferences aim to promote classroom applications of language corpora, data-driven learning, as well as the creation of corpus-informed teaching materials and other resources, and foster discussion between practitioners, researchers and theorists from all over the world.

The use of corpora in language teaching has been growing steadily since Tim Johns's pioneering work at Birmingham University in the last two decades of the 20th century.
