The volume can be considered as an essential resource for those already well-versed in DDL [Data Driven Learning]. Perhaps more importantly, however, the volume acts as an accessible guide for educational administrators, teachers and students who are thinking about incorporating a data-driven approach to teaching and learning, and who need the know-how, practical applications and most of all, encouragement to start experimenting with DDL and language corpora more generally.

Overall, this volume makes a strong contribution to the growing body of research on Data-Driven Learning (DDL)...it could be said that each article, while fililng one gap in the DDL literarure, simultaneously opens another avenue of exploration in the application of DDL to a wider range of language learning contexts. In sum, this volume serves as a substantial step in identifying all the affordances DDL can have for the learners we hope to serve.
