This study investigates the effectiveness of utilizing corpora in improving narrative writing skills among first-year secondary students. The study aimed at examining the impact of corpusbased instruction on enhancing students' narrative writing proficiency and their ability to effectively employ narrative elements. The research followed a single-group experimental design, with the experimental group receiving narrative writing instruction supplemented with corpus-based activities. The sample comprises first-year secondary students from a selected school, who were exposed to the experimental treatment for a specified duration. The pre-post-test was administered to both assess the students' initial narrative writing abilities and measure their progress following the corpus-based instruction. Additionally, a rubric is employed to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the students' narrative writing quality, coherence, organization, language usage, and creativity.
