In the globalized era, the proficiency in English language has become a pivotal skill, especially in non-native English-speaking countries like China. This study discusses the significance and methods of integrating corpus-based language pedagogy (CBLP) into senior high school English course in China. The significance of this research emanates from the increasing demand for practical, authentic, and contextually rich English language education that not only adheres to grammatical and lexical accuracy but also aligns with real-world language usage. This article is divided into seven parts. Firstly, the Corpus-based language pedagogy and Corpora, as well as Teaching methods and teaching content of Chinese senior high School English curriculum will be introduced in the literature review. Secondly, how to integrate the concept of CBLP into senior high school English curriculum will be explored. Thirdly, practical cases will be provided in the practice of integrating CBLP into senior high school English curriculum, and then evaluate the practical effects. The challenge for implementing corpus-based language pedagogy and more research directions will be summarized at last. Through the research and exploration of this article, the author hopes to provide educators with more systematic and practical teaching methods and guidance, and further improve the teaching quality of senior high school English curriculum and the comprehensive qualities of student. For future research, it is proposed to explore the longitudinal impacts of CBLP on students’ overall academic performance and English proficiency, investigate the scalability of this approach in varied educational contexts, and develop a comprehensive model that can seamlessly integrate CBLP into the existing educational frameworks without necessitating substantial alterations to the current curricula.
