講演概要:

Dr. Charles Browne and Dr. Brent Culligan have now co-published 5 different open-source, corpus-derived word lists as part of a component-based approach to help meet the needs of general and special-purpose second language learners of English. The first half of this presentation will introduce and explain the effectiveness of combining our New General Service List (NGSL, Browne, Culligan and Phillips, 2013) with one of our English for Specific Purposes (ESP) word lists known as the Business Service List (BSL, Browne & Culligan, 2016), which are designed to help teachers better meet the needs of EFL students who need to be able to cope with unsimplified written and spoken business English materials in their daily lives. With more than 600,000 words in the English language, learning just the combined 4500 words of the NGSL and BSL gives students an almost unbelievable 97% coverage of most general business English texts. I will also introduce our ESP word lists for TOEIC (the TSL) and for Academic English (the NAWL)

 

The second half of the session will introduce and demonstrate a large and growing number of free online tools and resources for helping to utilize these lists for teaching, learning, materials creation as well as research and analysis. The tools include interactive flashcards, diagnostic tests, games, vocabulary profiling apps, text creation tools, and more.
