Sažetak
This article researches university students' responses to a set of exercises based on authentic corpus material. It aims to add to the database of potential exercises derived directly from corpus material. The research involved 51 students of business and tourism who were asked to complete a variety of exercises derived from corpus material and record their impressions in a journal. Since they combine quantitative and qualitative data (students’ success rates and comments), our results provide reliable guidelines for the design of corpus-based exercises. Research results revealed that some learners appreciate the benefits of corpus consultation while others find it too time consuming or demanding. On the whole, the respondents recognised the benefits of autonomous learning, intensive reading and context reconstruction. We found the method beneficial and practicable for intermediate and advanced level students provided that it be introduced gradually.
