A Fundamental Study on Building Corpora and Applying Genre Analysis for the Development of ESP Educational Materials

1.研究人员，1)对IEEE国际会议（2002年，大阪）获得的文本进行了深入分析，2)构建了与IEEE电子数据相关的语料库，3)与该领域的学者和研究人员就语料库研究的后果进行了有意义的讨论。体裁分析研究者们，1)分析了与语篇结构相关的词汇和语法结构；2)找到了与语篇结构相关的修辞手段的具体例子；3)对一些选定的语篇进行了修辞模式的初步研究。收集资料研究人员1)对公司内部和外包的语言培训项目进行了调查，2)收集了与国际会议无关的其他领域的英语材料。从文本分析和调查中获得的数据将作为描述和创建有意义的文本和实用语言培训计划的支持。听力材料的开发研究人员制作了一系列的听力/口语材料，目的是训练英语的接受能力和生产能力。ESP和教学本研究的研究人员认为，有效的语言训练计划需要继续弥合描述和实践之间的差距，并激活学习者在课堂上更好地理解实践。为了实现这一目标，语言训练计划需要借鉴ESP和体裁分析的发现和方法。

1.Constructing Corpora-International Conference (IEEE 2002)The researchers, 1)presented an in-depth analysis of texts obtained from the International Conference IEEE (2002, in Osaka), 2)constructed a corpus related to IEEE electric data, 3)engaged in meaningful discussions concerning the ramifications of corpora studies with academics and researchers in the field.2.Genre AnalysisThe researchers, 1)analyzed lexical and grammatical structures related to construction of text 2)located specific examples of rhetorical devices related to text construction, 3)initiated a pilot study of rhetorical patterns on some selected texts.3.Collecting MaterialsThe researchers, 1)conducted a survey of corporate language training programs both in-house and outsourced, 2)collected materials written in English in other fields than those related to the international conference. Data obtained from the analysis of texts and the survey will serve as support for the description and creation of meaningful texts and practical language training programs.4.Development of Listening MaterialThe researchers generated a series of aural/oral materials for the purpose of training in receptive and productive skills of English Upgraded version is currently under discussion.5.ESP and InstructionThe researchers of this study maintain that effective language training programs need to continue to bridge the gap between description and practice, and also to activate learners in the classroom for a better understanding of the practice. In order to accomplish this goal, language training programs need to be informed by the findings and methodology of ESP and genre analysis.
