This collection showcases the latest innovations in research on the
application of corpora and corpus-based methods in ESP/EAP writing
instruction and the many ways in which corpora can be successfully
and practically integrated in ESP/EAP programmes. While previous
work has discussed the successful use of corpora in teaching
writing in the areas of ESP/EAP, this book is the first of its kind
to bring the most up-to-date research on the topic together in one
place. The volume's unique structure mirrors the key stages of the
writing instruction process, from preparation to exploitation to
analysis. The book begins by showing how corpora can be used to
prepare materials, moving into an exploration of how students in
ESP/EAP programmes use corpora in practice, before bringing the
discussion full circle to the ways in which corpus-based approaches
might be implemented to analyse ESP/EAP student writing. This
approach presents readers with insights into how corpora can be
effectively integrated into ESP/EAP writing instruction at every
step of the process and opens the way for future areas of study.
This book will be of particular interest to students and
researchers in applied corpus linguistics, English for Specific
Purposes, and English for Academic Purposes, as well as active
practitioners in ESP/EAP writing instruction.

Introducing English for Academic Purposes is an accessible and
engaging textbook which presents a wide-ranging introduction to the
field, covering the global and institutional position of EAP as
well as its manifestations in classrooms and research contexts
around the world. Each chapter provides: a critical overview
introducing readers to theory- and research-informed perspectives;
profiles of practice to guide readers in putting theory to use in
real world contexts; tasks, reflection exercises and a glossary to
help readers consolidate their understanding; an annotated further
reading section with links to online resources to enable readers to
extend their knowledge. Covering both theoretical and practical
issues, Introducing English for Academic Purposes is essential
reading for studentsof applied linguistics, and pre-service and
in-service teachers of EAP.

Contemporary research into written academic discourse has become
increasingly polarised between two approaches: corpus linguistics
and discourse analysis. This volume presents a selection of recent
work by experts in academic written discourse, and illustrates how
corpus linguistics and discourse analysis can work as complementary
approaches. The overall introduction sets the volume against the
backdrop of current work in English for Academic Purposes, and
introductions to the each section draw out connections between the
chapters and put them into context. The contributors are experts in
the field and they cover both novice and expert examples of EAP.
The book ends with an afterword that provides an agenda-setting
closing perspective on the future of EAP research. It will appeal
to reserachers and postgrduates in applied linguistics, corpus
linguistics, discourse analysis and EAP.
