The aim of this study is to present a reflection about a possibility of using Corpus Linguistics methodology for teaching and learning English based on Data-driven Learning (DDL) pers-pective in a English for Specific Purpose (ESP) classroom. Both theoretical and practical perspectives of the use of Data-driven Learning (DDL) (JOHNS, 1991) are presented here related to teaching and learning English, by considering the principals of Communicative Termino-logy Theory (ALMEIDA, 2006) and Corpus Linguistics as an approach (BERBER-SARDINHA, 2004; SCOTT, 2012; TEIXEIRA, 2008). The description of practical use of DDL in English classrooms starts from the living expe-rience shared with a group of students enrolled in an undergraduate course of Technology in Logistics. Furthermore this study suggests potential ways to continue the proposal in order to give the opportunity to students for learning English from a corpus of authentic texts in English for Specific Purpose (ESP) classes.
