I really liked the activity that we did at the end of the class. The corpus is one of the best athentic resouces that I can use it for life time as a teacher. It facilitates learning the athentically and pragmatically correct use of English words and phrases, idioms, and other strings of words.
In the future, I am planning to assign my students too to look for cirtain phrases, draw conclusions, and present their findings to their classmates so that every one can learn from eachother.
I wishe there was a corpus which would present a source of speaking sound tracks cotegorized based on speech acts or so. This would help EFL students listen and learn the athentic use, pronunciation, and meaning of certain expressions.

Yes, I like the corpus sites too. I also wonder if there any site introducing colloquial strings of words or word collocations.
There are free corpuses and then there are paid ones. I'm glad that you enjoyed the corpus activity - some students the year before did not like it - just more evidence that we need to vary our activities.
