Considering the increase of corpus linguistics in ESP/EAP pedagogy, this paper illustrates a didactic experience carried within an English for Tourism course held at the University of Calabria (Italy). During the course students were introduced to corpora and they gained basic corpus analysis skills which could help them acquire specialized vocabulary and knowledge which could be useful for their field of study/work. After outlining the main features of the corpus used in class and the tasks created to help students gain familiarity with corpus analysis, the paper focuses on students’ self-compiled corpora and investigations.

Abstract
Considering the increase of corpus linguistics in ESP/EAP pedagogy, this paper illustrates a didactic experience carried within an English for Tourism course held at the University of Calabria (Italy). During the course students were introduced to corpora and they gained basic corpus analysis skills which could help them acquire specialized vocabulary and knowledge which could be useful for their field of study/work. After outlining the main features of the corpus used in class and the tasks created to help students gain familiarity with corpus analysis, the paper focuses on students’ self-compiled corpora and investigations.File in questo prodotto:
