Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

In this interactive course, we will focus on ESP texts of different kinds within an applied linguistic framework. By keeping the overall aim of ESP teaching in mind, we will describe and analyse the features and structures of a selection of text types, or genres. Apart from a reflective introduction to discourse and genre analysis, this will also entail learning to use language corpora, i.e. computerised collections of texts, and the associated concordancing software.
This course falls into three parts: introduction to the applied linguistic framework; practical experience in analysing ESP genres; and student projects on specific language aspects of an ESP genre and how they could be taught.
This is Course 2 of the module on Teaching English for Specific Purposes, and should be attended after Course 1 ("World of Work").

Assessment and permitted materials

Students have to complete a project analysing one genre of their choice using the methods of computer-assisted genre analysis presented in class. Assessment is based on student participation in class, and the project described above (including oral and written presentation).

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

This course aims to show students how to access and work with text sources as an aid in using and developing teaching materials.

Examination topics

Small-group and all-class discussions based on readings and tasks, project work (individually or in pairs) applying genre and corpus analysis, small-group presentations, written project report

Reading list

The required reading will be given out in class.
