Popis: The objective of this research was to investigate the vocabulary, terminology, and grammar utilized by EFL learners through the corpus linguistics tool, Sketch Engine. This study was conducted using a qualitative design at a private university in North Sumatera, involving 50 EFL learners. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative methods for data collection and qualitative methods for in-depth analysis. The corpus-based approach was specifically implemented with first-semester students from the academic year 2022/2023. The research findings indicated a dominant mastery of vocabulary among EFL learners, primarily comprising nouns, verbs, adverbs, pronouns, and adjectives. Notably, 11 vocabulary items emerged as having the highest frequency of usage, highlighting learners’ engagement with these terms. The analysis underscored the potential for effective and efficient vocabulary learning, emphasizing the integration of technology in EFL education to expose learners to diverse word types and variations in word formation within the Indonesian context. Furthermore, this study seeks to promote a greater emphasis on grammatical aspects in language pedagogy. It suggests that heightened focus on these components could enhance language acquisition and fluency. Ultimately, the research aspires to provide valuable insights for educators and curriculum designers, contributing to the development of more comprehensive and effective teaching methodologies in EFL settings, thus benefiting both learners and instructors alike.
