Abstract
This paper discusses the feasibility of using Corpus Linguistics tools in the analysis of pedagogic discourse. To this end, two case studies are presented. The first one focuses on the discourse of English language teachers at a well-known language course in Rio de Janeiro on the implementation of technological resources in the classroom. The second study seeks to realize the position held by university professors of Literatures in English language with regard to literature and its teaching. The results point out to the richness of contextual data which can be inferred from an empirical linguistic analysis. All in all, the paper uncovers the importance and flexibility of corpus approaches in discourse analysis, which may be applied to several contexts.
