From text to corpus – A genre-based approach to academic literacy instruction

System, 2013

Widening participation in Higher Education and a dramatic increase in the recruitment of overseas... more Widening participation in Higher Education and a dramatic increase in the recruitment of overseas students has led to an urgent need for academic institutions to recognise the literacy demands they make of their students, and to respond to these students' learning needs. In this paper we report on the first phase of a discipline-specific academic writing project at King's College London. The instructional approach takes as its starting point the assessed academic genres which students have to write. Working within the tradition of genre based approaches to academic writing instruction, we have used the KCL Apprentice Writing Corpus to provide a databank of exemplars. These texts, along with grading and feedback information from academic departments, and input from disciplinary specialists, have provided the basis for discipline-specific writing courses which focus on strategically important assessed disciplinary genres (Critical Assignments in Applied Linguistics, and Laboratory Reports in Pharmacy). In this paper we discuss issues in corpus compilation, the selection of exemplars, and the rationale which has informed the development of the teaching resources. We also provide examples from the workshops offered as part of the courses. The paper concludes with a brief account of the evaluation of the courses, and a discussion of how corpus informed materials are being developed to extend the project in its second phase.

Vocabulary lists for learners, for example, have been generated from corpora, and word counts derived from corpus analysis have helped in defining goals for vocabulary acquisition. Dictionary and textbook creators have used corpora extensively. In recent years, the move to the use of authentic language materials in language pedagogy has enhanced the role collections of spoken or written language can play in language learning. Corpora are, after all, huge ...
