This study aims to use corpora to investigate the distinctions between these two synonymous verbs in terms of collocations and semantic distributions. Data were drawn from two written learner corpora: LOCNESS (The Louvain Corpus of Native English Essays), comprising 176 essays (149,574 words) written by American English learners, and GLC (Gachon Learner Corpus), comprising 212 essays (25,247 words) written by intermediate Korean English learners. Analysis was conducted using AntConc 3.5.9, applying loglikelihood statistics within a 4L-4R span, and cross-verified through the Collins Online Dictionary and Oxford Learner's Dictionary. The findings revealed that see was used considerably more often than watch in both corpora, consistent with its broader semantic range (14 senses in Collins and 18 in OLD, compared to 5 senses for watch). Regarding semantic distribution, Korean learners tended to favor literal, transparent senses of both verbs, while American learners employed a wider range of senses, including more opaque meanings of see. These findings carry important pedagogical implications, emphasizing the need to teach synonyms across their literal to the most opaque senses, and highlighting the value of corpus-based approaches in vocabulary instruction.

Abstract

Limited learning resources remain a challenge in implementing active and meaningful English language instruction in elementary schools. In addition, some teachers still do not understand how to apply Deep Learning in practice and believe innovative teaching depends on digital technology. This community service activity aims to strengthen the capacity of elementary school teachers in East Lombok Regency to design and implement low-tech, locally contextualized Deep Learning activities for English. The activity was carried out through presentations, discussions, and Q&A sessions, activity design practice, teaching simulations, as well as reflection and evaluation. The participants were 20 teachers from several elementary schools in Timbanuh Village, East Lombok Regency, who face limited English-learning facilities. The results showed a positive response from participants regarding teachers’ understanding and practical skills in translating Deep Learning principles into contextual, interactive, learner-centered activities. Teachers were able to design and implement activities using simple materials and resources available within the school environment, such as paper, cardboard, flashcards, pictures, everyday objects, and elements of the natural environment. The training materials were also distributed to all participants so they could be used, adapted, and further developed in their respective schools. Thus, this low-tech approach can serve as a relevant and easily replicable alternative to support meaningful English language learning in elementary schools with limited resources.
