ABSTRACT
Given the role of computational language technologies in the discovery of formulaic language and the subsequent importance of formulaic language in applied linguistics research, the minor role of technology in the teaching and learning of formulaic language is surprising. This chapter first highlights the role of language technologies in the discovery of formulaic language through the work of Sinclair, Wray, Erman, and Warren and others who identified the extent of the phenomenon and elaborated its significance in acquisition. The chapter then demonstrates specific ways that teachers and learners can develop an awareness of formulaic language and practice its deployment through hands-on computing activities.
