Abstract

It has long been proved that content-based instruction affects the overall academic progress of ESL students. With the development of research and application of corpus linguistics, such materials can be better collected and sorted for pedagogical purposes. In this project, a creation of a corpus of business language was used for developing materials for the ESL class. After a process of piloting, experimenting and revising, the materials were developed based on the collected corpus. As a result, the course turned out to be effective and well received by both the instructor and the students. We believe this project could be replicated for other academic disciplines as well.
