The present study makes the case for a mixed text-corpus approach to academic English to develop a syllabus in EAP reading for the Humanities. The argument is made for referring to corpus methods to guide the instructors and course developers’ choices without necessarily bringing corpus observation tools into class. Through analysis of the whole design process, including students’ response data, the efficacy of some of the choices made in designing the syllabus are questioned and suggestions for further amendments are put forward.

Abstract
The present study makes the case for a mixed text-corpus approach to academic English to develop a syllabus in EAP reading for the Humanities. The argument is made for referring to corpus methods to guide the instructors and course developers’ choices without necessarily bringing corpus observation tools into class. Through analysis of the whole design process, including students’ response data, the efficacy of some of the choices made in designing the syllabus are questioned and suggestions for further amendments are put forward.File in questo prodotto:
