The aim of this study was to design an effective assessment tool for implicature comprehension by harnessing the power of corpus pragmatics. Utilizing the COCA (Corpus of Contemporary American English) corpus, Ι crafted a comprehensive test on conversational implicatures. This test was administered to first-grade high school students, with the objective of evaluating both their comprehension and production abilities within pragmatic contexts. The study reveals the synergistic relationship between corpus pragmatics and digital technology, showcasing the seamless integration of authentic language use through online corpora. The results obtained from the test underscore the efficacy of this approach, with overwhelmingly positive outcomes observed among the participants. By illuminating the intersection of corpus pragmatics, technology, and language acquisition, this research not only contributes to the advancement of language pedagogy but also highlights a promising avenue for future language assessment methodologies.
