概要	The Sketch Engine for Language Learning (SkELL: http://skell.sketchengine.co.uk) is a free, web-based tool for exploring words in the English language. It creates ‘sketches’ of the grammatical and collocational behaviour of words out of corpus data, which can help language learners, teachers, and researchers gain deeper insights into vocabulary usage in natural language. This article begins by discussing the development of SkELL from the larger Sketch Engine; a powerful corpus query system that houses tools to analyse corpora from a wide variety of languages. It then introduces the three primary functions of the SkELL tool, with examples of their application in the classroom: (1) making concordances, (2) investigating collocations, and (3) producing lists of similar words.
