| Title | Book: Textual Patterns: Key Words and Corpus Analysis in Language Education |
| Body | From http://www.benjamins.com/cgi-bin/t_bookview.cgi?bookid=SCL%2022 Textual Patterns: Key words and corpus analysis in language education by Mike Scott and Christopher Tribble Publisher: John Benjamins Publishing Company Summary: Textual Patterns introduces corpus resources, tools and analytic frameworks of central relevance to language teachers and teacher educators. Specifically it shows how key word analysis, combined with the systematic study of vocabulary and genre, can form the basis for a corpus informed approach to language teaching. The first part of the book gives the reader a strong grounding in the way in which language teachers can use corpus analysis tools (wordlists, concordances, key words) to describe language patterns in general and text patterns in particular. The second section presents a series of case studies which show how a key word / corpus informed approach to language education can work in practice. The case studies include: General language education (i.e. students in national education systems and those following international examination programmes), foreign languages for academic purposes, literature in language education, business and professional communication, and cultural studies in language education.
