Abstract: Teaching grammar is becoming a challenge for a language teacher. Grammar is a foundational component of language instruction which should be well-planned and delivered to the learners. Therefore, the teacher should carefully select teaching approach to enhance students’ grammatical competency. In Thai EFL context, English grammar has long been taught in a traditional way, where the teacher presents rules, followed by providing examples and translation exercises. Recently, corpus linguistics has been introduced as an alternative approach to teaching grammar, as it enables learners to discover and analyze complex patterns of language structures used in real-life situations. Through data-driven learning, grammar teaching can be updated, accurate, and aligned with the real-world usage of the English language. This article primarily aims to provide a comprehensive overview of corpus linguistics and its pedagogical implications in grammar instruction, particularly in Thai EFL classrooms. It begins with the importance of grammar in language learning and English grammar instruction. Then, the definitions of corpus linguistics and corpora are provided. Additionally, previous studies on the investigation of the corpus-based approach in grammar teaching conducted in Thai educational contexts are reviewed. Furthermore, the benefits and challenges of corpora in English grammar instruction are illustrated. The conceptual framework related to the topic is presented as the insights from the literature review. Finally, the paper suggests specific steps for implementing a corpus-based approach in English grammar pedagogy.
