Lo studio esamina due tecniche didattiche utilizzate nell’insegnamento di 10 verbi sintagmatici (Phrasal Verbs) a due gruppi di studenti universitari: la prima è basata sulla presentazione di voci di dizionario, la seconda su lavoro cooperativo con campioni reali tratti da un corpus (Data-Driven Learning o DDL). Dopo un test iniziale, ciascun gruppo ha lavorato sul significato contestuale di 5 verbi presentati tramite voci di dizionario e di altri 5 presentati tramite campione di frasi tratte da un corpus. Il confronto delle due tecniche e dei due gruppi di studenti mostra che l’uso dei corpora può presentare vantaggi nell’apprendimento di nuovi elementi lessicali e nel consolidamento di lessico noto. L’effetto positivo è particolarmente significativo per il gruppo più maturo e professionalmente motivato. Per alcuni verbi l’utilizzo del dizionario è risultato addirittura negativo.
