The technology of application of multimodal linguistic corpora for foreign language interaction skill development

Importance. Linguistic corpora are a valuable resource for teaching foreign languages. Recently, there has been a surge in publications highlighting the didactic potential of these corpora for teaching not only lexico-grammatical skills but also productive skills. This trend is linked to the development of multimodal and learner corpora, the simplification of user interfaces, and the increased accessibility of corpus technologies. Consequently, there is a pressing need to develop and test new methodological models for integrating language corpora into teaching practices. Materials and Methods . During the study, a thorough analysis of the scientific literature has been conducted to establish the theoretical framework for the research. Methods of comparison, contrast, generalization are applied. Results and Discussion . The key phases in the data-driven approach to foreign language teaching development have been identified. The advantages of utilizing linguistic corpora in the language classroom have been outlined. A methodological model for working with multimodal corpora to enhance interaction skills is proposed, using the French-language corpus FLEURON as an example. Conclusion. Linguistic corpora have been utilized in foreign language teaching for over 40 years; however, their application in teaching practice remains limited. The didactic functions of linguistic corpora can optimize and enhance the educational process. Future research should focus on developing methodologies for integrating multimodal corpora into foreign language instruction.
