“…Ce travail peut se faire avec des concordances sur papier, triées en fonction de l'objectif pédagogique. Utiliser des concordances éditées et imprimées permet tout à fait de faire découvrir des collocations potentielles et d'analyser les contextes d'apparition des mots (Boulton, 2010), surtout quand le travail sur collocations a déjà été longuement réalisé avec un corpus comme celui de Leipzig. • dépression se retrouve souvent avec les mêmes collocats qui le suivent ou le précèdent immédiatement ;…”

“…Citation patterns of undergraduate students and intermediate to advanced writers, however, have been marginalized in this area of research. At the same time, the DDL approach has demonstrated a significant impact in a variety of educational contexts (see, e.g., Flowerdew, 2012Flowerdew, , 2015Boulton, 2009Boulton, , 2010Gaskell & Cobb, 2004;Yoon, 2014). The aim of the present study is to investigate the impact of direct application of corpus use on ESL upper-intermediate to advanced undergraduate writers' authorial voice in an educational writing context.…”

This study reports the impact of the data-driven learning (DDL) approach on ESL Saudi writers' general citation patterns that contribute to their general authorial voice. Specifically, the study examines the effects of the DDL activities on ESL writers' use of integral and non-integral citation patterns based on Swales ' (1981, 1986, and 1990) modal of citation analysis and the extended scheme of classification set by Thompson & Tribble (2001). Guided use of both the Michigan Corpus of Upper-Level Student Papers (MICUSP) and WordandPhrase.info has been designed, implemented, and assessed with a representative sample of 32 ESL upper-intermediate and advanced writers in the Department of Translation in College of Languages at Princess Nourah bint Abul Rahman University (PNU). The effectiveness of the DDL activities in improving the writers' use of the citation patterns in composition of assignments is measured via a repeated measure paired t test. The study evaluates writers' authorial voice in terms of their use of integral and non-integral citation patterns. The quantitative analysis reveals that participants' integral patterns (n = 398) of citation significantly outnumbered non-integral patterns (n = 126). The verb-controlling pattern occurred the most (n = 320), constituting 61% of total citation patterns. Results of the paired sample t test reveals a significant statistical difference between participants' performances before and after the integration of the DDL activities, with the mean value being increased from 2.285 to 3.778. These results inform pedagogical implications of the DDL approach in ESL writing. The conceptual framework implementing the DDL approach in the present study provides guidance for applying corpus-informed tools when designing writing activities for upper-intermediate to advanced ESL learners.

“…The concordance material was given to students as paper-based, three-line concordance sets, each illustrating one target language item. Despite the fact that such a small sample of language may be denied the status of a DDL exercise, even Johns' (1991) multiple contexts for an item frequently featured as few as three lines (Boulton, 2010). Finally, the students were asked to reconsider their initial translations by using newly discovered information from the concordance lines.…”

This paper studies the possibility of using a combination of a simple translation exercise with a small-scale concordance exercise with students enrolled in the English for Tourism course at the Faculty of Economics in Split, Croatia. It explains the rationale behind such a combination of exercises which focus on lexical items and explores how efficient the students were in dealing with the proposed exercises. Although teaching subject-related terminology is an important aspect of teaching an ESP course, the paper presents the case of teaching and practising the semantically light verb take in its frequent subject-related meanings and usages. To cater for this need, a small specialised corpus was used as a starting point and the British National Corpus was queried for verification and comparison. Overall, a simple lexical corpusbased exercise provided useful targeted information concerning the predicted pitfalls in students' translations. Although only some students actually used this information to improve their initial translations, they were highly successful. The feedback collected in the questionnaires shows that students were generally very satisfied with the experience. Key wordsEnglish for Tourism, lexis, translation, concordance, specialised corpus. SANJA MARINOVVol. 4(2)(2016): Sažetak Rad istražuje mogućnost kombinovanja jednostavne vežbe prevođenja sa vežbom s malim brojem konkordansi na časovima engleskog jezika u turizmu sa studentima Ekonomskog fakulteta u Splitu (Hrvatska). U radu se navode razlozi upotrebe kombinovanog vežbanja zasnovanog na leksičkim jedinicama i ispituje uspešnost studenata u njegovoj izradi. Iako je predavanje specijalizovane terminologije važan aspekt nastave engleskog jezika struke, rad prikazuje slučaj predavanja i uvežbavanja čestih značenja i upotreba semantički prozirnog glagola take u domenu struke. U tu svrhu korišćen je mali specijalizovani korpus, dok se Britanski nacionalni korpus pretraživao radi utvrđivanja tačnosti prevoda i poređenja. Ukupno uzevši, jednostavno leksičko vežbanje zasnovano na korpusu pružilo je korisne relevantne informacije koje su se ticale pretpostavljenih poteškoća studenata prilikom prevođenja. Iako je tek nekoliko studenata koristilo ove informacije kako bi poboljšalo svoj prvobitni prevod, u tome su bili izuzetno uspešni. Povratne informacije dobijene putem upitnika pokazale su da su studenti bili generalno veoma zadovoljni ovakvim vežbanjem.Ključne reči engleski jezik u turizmu, leksika, prevođenje, kondordanse, specijalizovani korpus.
