This study explores the application of Corpus Linguistics as an innovative and evidence-based tool for improving grammar and vocabulary instruction in English language teaching. Corpus-based learning enables teachers and learners to analyze authentic language use through large databases of real texts, helping them to identify natural patterns, collocations, and contextual meanings. The study highlights practical classroom applications of corpus tools such as COCA, BNC, and Sketch Engine, demonstrating how teachers can design creative tasks for grammar and vocabulary development based on real language data. The findings suggest that corpus-assisted learning significantly improves accuracy, contextual understanding, and retention of linguistic structures among students, fostering a deeper connection between theoretical grammar and real communication.
