Abstract

Cette contribution s'intéresse aux modalités d'entrée en contact avec des corpus chez l'apprenant et aux différentes manières qu'il a de les utiliser. Il est possible d'identifier trois approches différentes. Plutôt que de les opposer, je les considérerai comme complémentaires. Je souhaite exposer ici le fait que, comme pour toute ressource pédagogique ou pour toute activité d'apprentissage, certains usages des corpus peuvent être très efficaces dans le cours de langue alors que d'autres peuvent se révéler complètement inutile du point de vue de l'apprenant.This paper discusses how learners can come into contact with corpora and the different ways in which corpora can be useful to them. There are three main ways in which this can be done, and rather than competing against each other, I see these three different gateways to corpora as being complementary. I also wish to show that, as with any kind of materials and activities developed under the aegis of a particular methodology and approach to learning, some uses of corpora in the classroom can be very effective, while others may not work at all.
