N2 - This study examines the application of corpus linguistics in English language teaching (ELT) in Colombia, where its practical adoption remains limited compared to many developed countries. Data were gathered through a survey of English instructors at Colombian universities to assess their familiarity with corpus linguistics. Findings indicate significant challenges, including lack of formal training, low awareness of corpus-based methodologies, and insufficient resources for implementing corpus linguistics applications. The study highlights the potential for enhancing corpus linguistics research and application in Colombia, emphasizing the necessity for improved training and collaborative practices, which could foster greater participation in global corpus linguistics initiatives and enhance the overall effectiveness of ELT.
