摘要：This paper presents the results of a new type of learner corpus analysis: one that is based on students' own choices. The study was part of an international questionnaire survey conducted in 2012, which aimed to collect valid data about attitudes toward and views of higher education of Hungarian and European students of English as a foreign language (EFL). After discussing the rationale for a new type of learner corpus, which in this case is the author's International Pride Corpus (IPC), the paper summarizes writing pedagogy studies dealing with notions of autonomy and originality, two values that have a central role in the current approach. The IPC is then submitted to thematic and lexical analyses, aiming to reveal differences between the BA and the MA subcorpora. Although the results appear inconclusive, the study is seen as potentially relevant for future corpus-building efforts as well as for the syllabus development of writing skills courses
