Corpus-aided EAP writing workshops to support international scholarly publication

Abstract

Writing for international scholarly publication is hard, and arguably harder for researchers with English as an additional language. English teachers could help them, but most teachers have little or no experience of research writing or the specialized languages researchers use. This study trialled and evaluated workshops for Brazilian researchers and English teachers learning together to use corpora and corpus-based tools to develop autonomy in writing and teaching academic English writing for scholarly publication.
