This collection sheds light on the ways in which corpus linguistics
and the use of learner corpora might be applied to the study of
academic discourse, revealing linguistic and rhetorical patterns
and insights into variation across a range of disciplinary genres.
Organized into three sections, the book highlights key tools and
methodologies in corpus analysis to study such features as
discourse markers, lexical bundles, linguistic complexity,
lexico-grammatical conventions, and modality in case studies in
studies of academic discourse, both in a second language and in
English for specific purposes. The volume features examples from
disciplinary genres not often covered in the existing literature,
including MA theses, academic book reviews, and online student
forums. Taken together with the study of learner corpora, the book
demonstrates the impact of corpus linguistic tools in better
understanding linguistic patterns of specific languages and
language use and in turn, their role in helping to identify the
needs of language learners. The book will be of interest to
students and scholars in corpus linguistics, applied linguistics,
and English for Specific Purposes.

This edited book explores critical issues relating to Content and
Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) and English as a Medium of
Instruction (EMI), setting out their similarities and differences
to demystify the terms and their implications for classroom
practice. The authors show how CLIL and EMI practices are carried
out in different institutional contexts and demonstrate how both
approaches can benefit language and content acquisition. This book
is addressed to second/foreign language teaching staff involved in
teaching in English at primary education, secondary education, and
higher education levels.

This edited book examines the use of English as a Medium of
Instruction (EMI) in a variety of international higher education
contexts. The internationalization of education - indicated by
increasing mobility of students, staff and ideas, as well as by
policies and programmes put in place to facilitate educational
exchange - has led to increasing adoption of English as a Lingua
Franca (ELF) for educational purposes. In this book, the authors
present the results of empirical research into the implementation,
assessment, development and use of EMI programmes in different
settings, presenting the case for more structured training of
teachers and staff. It will be of interest to second/foreign
language teaching and administrative staff, as well as anyone else
involved in teaching in English at higher education level.
This monograph mainly focuses on the idea that language teaching in
higher education involves making use of new approaches and
technology. It identifies the key determinants of the materials
needed to improve language teaching on the basis of the actual
experimental research included in the respective contributions.
Thanks to its unique perspective, the book offers a distinctive
approach to addressing empirical research on second language
teaching, translator training and technology. As universities are
some of the best arenas for analyzing teaching techniques for
various subjects, higher education teachers can use this book to
thoroughly prepare for the application of pilot studies and learn
more about students' responses to new teaching and translation
techniques. An enlightening guide for scholars and students with an
academic interest in acquiring the basic principles of language
teaching and translation, this book mainly provides actual cases in
which the implementation of technology was useful to second
language teachers and translation trainers. As the authors are
experienced scholars, readers will not only come to understand how
to use new teaching strategies, but also discover that the
proposals described in each chapter can be useful to any level of
second language training for teachers and translators.

This book sheds new light on language and literature teaching, and
offers examples of teaching language in virtual environments.
Providing an overview of virtual environments for teaching, it also
includes chapters devoted to methodology design for second language
teaching in these environments. Further it describes tools for
second/ foreign language teaching and proposals for specific second
language teaching in virtual environments. Lastly, it presents
experiments on literature teaching in virtual environments and
discusses the future of technology in education. With
interdisciplinary appeal, the book is a particularly valuable
resource for scholars with an interest in technology, language
teaching and literature teaching.

The main focus of this volume is test development and accreditation
requirements and needs. One of the major objectives here is to show
the key aspects of the application of assessment in higher
education and the systems of accreditation. Thanks to its unique
perspective, it offers a different approach on various aspects of
second language assessment. As universities are one of the best
arenas for the analysis of language testing, the book thoroughly
prepares higher education teachers to apply pilot studies and shows
students' responses to new testing techniques and accreditation
requirements. It offers an enlightening guide for scholars with an
academic interest in acquiring the basic principles of language
testing and accreditation, providing real cases of how new ways of
testing and accreditation can be useful to second language teachers
and students. Readers will not only come to understand how to use
new testing strategies, but also have the opportunity to see that
the proposals described in each chapter may be useful to language
assessment and motivation of students.
