Longtime teacher of linguistics and researcher weaves traditional methods of teaching language with new technology
'Analysis of a Medical Research Corpus: A Prelude for Learners, Teachers, Readers and Beyond' released
MARINA, Calif., Sept. 30, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Having been a teacher of English Applied Linguistics for many exceeding 40 years, Georgette Nicolas Jabbour wanted to share the knowledge she accumulated form her experience with readers at large. It is for this reason she has written "Analysis of a Medical Research Corpus: A Prelude for Learners, Teachers, Readers and Beyond" (published by Archway Publishing).
This book is for people interested in languages in general, and in aspects of reading and writing science, such as reading science texts and writing research. The domains of English Language Teaching, teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages, and Teaching English for Science and vocational purposes use all types of technology tool applications. This technology uses corpus linguistics (corpora plural of corpus) to study, analyze and learn from a comprehensive analysis of science texts in terms of reading, writing, and communicating with a specific learned community. The technology associated with corpus linguistics explained in this book is applicable to a multitude of languages that have a strong technology buildup similar to that of English. This book also provides background information on the process of publishing a medical research article.
This book is divided into two areas. One area, chapters one to five, presents the context of the evolution of theories of language learning and teaching, of language and technology, and of the discourse of science. The second area of the book deals with the application of corpus linguistics tools such as extracting word frequencies, concordances, and collocations that develop better awareness in reading and writing.
"Analysis of a Medical Research Corpus: A Prelude for Learners, Teachers, Readers and Beyond" aims to help students of English as a second language who in fact have in mind to study in higher levels of science, such as medicine and biology. It also aims to help those who are interested in sharing their knowledge in published articles in medical journals.
