The purpose of this research is to both ground theory and establish effective teaching methods of academic writing for Japanese EFL (English as a Foreign Language), particularly EMP (English for Medical Purposes) learners, by creating a learner corpus database written by Japanese medical PhD students, and comparing it with an English native speaker corpus. We collected a small amount of learner data and compiled a small corpus database entitled: Students’ Abstracts of Medical Mock Experiment (SAME) corpus. The students were required to produce an English abstract of at least 200 words on a given mock medical experiment. The abstract was required to be written according to the IMRD (Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results and Discussions) structure, but had to be finalized as a single meaningful, cohesive paragraph, not as separate sections. The topic of the experiment was a Helicobacter pylori infection and the outline of the experiment was briefly explained in Japanese. Each manuscript was collected and compiled electronically as a text file. The data was analyzed using the corpus software AntConc. We have presented the research results at two international conferences. The results indicated that 1) learners who have the ability to write grammatically correct sentences do not necessarily use stylistically appropriate or genre conscious expressions, and 2)students awareness of genre was not correlated to level of accuracy. The learners can be categorized roughly into four groups according to their levels of accuracy and genre awareness. We concluded that it would be too late to start teaching academic writing from a graduate level, and that Japanese learners should be encouraged to acquire basic academic writing skills at an earlier stage, that is, as undergraduates.

本研究的目的是通过建立一个由日本医学博士生编写的学习者语料库，并将其与以英语为母语的语料库进行比较，为日语EFL(English As A Foreign Language)，特别是EMP(医学英语)学习者建立学术写作教学的理论基础和有效的教学方法。我们收集了少量的学习者数据，编制了一个小型语料库，名为：学生医学模拟实验摘要(SAME)语料库。学生们被要求就一个给定的模拟医学实验提交一份至少200字的英文摘要。摘要要求按照IMRD(导言、材料和方法、结果和讨论)的结构编写，但必须作为一个有意义、连贯的段落定稿，而不是作为单独的章节。实验的主题是幽门螺杆菌感染，实验大纲用日语简要解释。每一份手稿都被收集起来，并以电子方式汇编成文本文件。使用语料库软件AntConc对数据进行分析。我们已经在两次国际会议上公布了研究成果。研究结果表明：1)有能力写出语法正确句子的学习者不一定使用文体得体或体裁意识强的表达方式；2)学生的体裁意识与其准确度并不相关。根据他们的精确度和体裁意识水平，学习者可以大致分为四组。我们的结论是，从研究生开始教授学术写作为时已晚，应该鼓励日语学习者在更早的阶段，即本科生阶段，获得基本的学术写作技能。
