ABSTRACT
Section C4 explores the teaching of spoken and written academic discourse for English learners, which may be adapted for specific contexts and/or purposes across settings, including those that are outside university classrooms. Four lessons are presented here focusing on: (1) the teaching of academic spoken and written discourse, especially the use of doing good and doing well in both spoken and written language; (2) using Text Lex Compare (Cobb, 2016) to analyze words in political discourse; (3) a mentoring program for visiting scholars and how corpus-based activities could be tailored specifically for their English training for written and oral comprehension and production; and (4) the visualizer Text X-Ray’s application in an academic writing course for multilingual writers.
