Abstract:

This book explores the affordances of disciplinary corpora for the teaching
and learning of the language of dentistry, within the field of English for
Specific Academic Purposes (ESAP). We extract disciplinary register features
and vocabulary from three key genres of the dentistry discipline (published
experimental research articles, case reports, and novice/professional research
reports within the Dental Public Health domain), before integrating these
features into ESAP pedagogy in the form of corpus-based ESAP materials that
promote student-led direct engagement with disciplinary corpora – an approach
known as 'data-driven learning'. This book is a timely and relevant addition
to the field of corpus linguistics and ESAP, and is especially targeted at
ESAP professionals who are required to teach disciplinary discourses but who
may struggle to know what to teach as non-experts of the target discipline.
