The article provides an overview of corpus analysis, discussing its relevance in language teaching materials design. It examines how corpus analysis helps identify target language features, select vocabulary, inform grammar instruction, and enhance the authenticity of materials. The challenges and limitations of corpus analysis in materials design are also discussed. The article concludes by discussing future directions, including advancements in corpus linguistics, integration into teacher training programs, collaborative research, and the evaluation of corpus-informed materials. By incorporating corpus analysis in materials design, educators can create effective teaching materials that reflect authentic language use and enhance learners' language proficiency and communicative competence.
