Abstract
This paper aims at relating the linguistic concept of register to the production of TESOL programs. While linguists concern themselves with how to identify and describe registers that exist within the framework of English, TESOL specialists should work out how to select, grade, and present language varieties appropriate to the learners' needs. With the assumption that the linguistic concept of register is particularly relevant to advanced level TESOL programs, the paper reports on a research project which aims at measuring the register characteristics of a corpus of 1,000 pieces of synchronically sampled administrative correspondence and a sizable corpus of boardroom discussions.
