Although it is easy to get carried away about new methods and tools for the classroom, Gavioli's approach is a balanced one. Her view is that corpora and corpus tools should not replace traditional and carefully developed tools like grammars, dictionaries, or style guides; it is when these tools are not sufficient that corpora and concordances can prove highly useful. This is, of course, particularly likely to happen in ESP, where the level of specialization creates needs that are rarely met by general reference works.

Exploring Corporafor ESP Learning is certainly an accessible, interesting, andinsightfultext that all teachers in any walk of corpus studies should consider.

Teachers interested in any of the topics the book touches upon will find Gavioli's explorations both stimulating and inspiring.
