Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

In this 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 ("English in a Professional Context (EPCO)").

Assessment and permitted materials

assignments, student participation; a computer-assisted genre analysis project (including oral and written presentation)

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Students
1) become familiar with theoretical and methodological foundations of genre analysis
2) have analytical skills in working with samples of ESP genres, also by drawing using corpus linguistic methods
3) gain first-hand experience in undertaking a corpur-based genre analysis for developing ESP 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

Information on the required readings will be provided on Moodle.
