This article explores the difficulties of applying corpus linguistic techniques, especially concordancing,
in classroom settings. Although the application of corpora in linguistic research has demonstrated considerable
promise, their incorporation into language education is still quite restricted. This paper provides a critical
examination of evaluative studies regarding the direct application of corpora in educational contexts and assesses
how well essential element, such as corpus data, analysis software, and user engagement which can be transferred
from research environments to teaching scenarios. The research highlights major obstacles that hinder the use of
corpus-based methods in language instruction and suggests approaches to encourage their broader
implementation in mainstream education.
