The language of pedagogic patterns is not only a vehicle for communication between individuals with different degrees of expertise but also a vehicle for interdisciplinary collaboration. In this paper, we use pedagogic patterns, pattern language and computational thinking in language learning. Language corpora are large databases of language that document native speakers’ real use of language while engaged in different communication events. In this paper, we seek to motivate and design a pedagogic pattern for the use of Data-driven-Learning (DDL) activities in the context of language teaching and inductive learning with language corpora. By accessing these resources, learners may tap into the type of knowledge and understanding of language uses that only L1 speakers have. The proposed pedagogic pattern facilitates the acquisition and dissemination of good practices that can serve as a reference for new applications. The storing and processing of these pedagogic patterns allows professionals and experts in teaching and instructional design to build well documented databases that can be of use in future pedagogic applications
