Recently, the use of corpus has been very popular in almost a11 areas of language research, as a means of exploring the actual patterns of language use. The rnain goal of this paper is to show the possibilities of and advocate exploiting corpus for English language education. For this goal, it first provides a basic understanding of corpus by describing the types of corpus, issues in corpus design, and the use of a concordancing prograrn in analyzing corpus. This is fo11owed by the discussion of three different ways in which corpus can contribute to English language education. First, the content of English teaching can be improved by the rnore accurate and detailed description of the target language that is provided by corpus-based research. Secondly, corpus analysis itself can be adopted as a language teaching methodology, in which learners discover various facts about English by thernselves. Fina11y, analysis of learner corpus can help us diagnose and solve the problems that the learners typica11y have.
