摘要：This paper illustrates compiling a corpus of academic texts from the disciplines of economics
and business administration, as the basis for designing a lexical component of the English for
Academic Purposes (EAP) reading course and developing teaching materials for students
intending to follow their university courses. The course is based on data-driven learning, and
it is structured around a task-based approach with a particular emphasis on constructivism,
which aims at getting students actively involved in the learning process. The development of
the course and its classroom application are described. Students¡¯ perceptions of this
innovative experience are discussed in relation to the benefits of this approach, both
academically and in providing orientation for study in students¡¯ respective English-medium
department.
