Rezensionen

'As developer of the Lextutor set of data-driven learning resources, I am often asked if there is a manual to aid in their discovery and use. I always reply that I have barely enough time for development, and someone else will have to write the manual. And so finally someone has done this, with regard to the skill of writing, and I hope others will do it for other skills. Tatyana Karpenko-Seccombe has done a great job of putting together possibly the only complete corpus-based writing course, composing and testing each chapter with actual learners along a two year trajectory. I have seen and commented on drafts along the way, and it has all come together splendidly.'

Tom Cobb, Université du Québec à Montréal, Canada

'This book offers an easy introduction to data-driven learning, using corpus resources that are free, easily accessible, and entirely authentic. Whether learning independently or in the classroom, academic writing students will find the activities relevant, engaging, memorable - and fun!'

Hilary Nesi, Professor in English Language at Coventry University, UK

'Researchers have enthused about the potential for using corpus resources and tools in the academic writing classroom but there has been a dearth of materials that help teachers and learners to realise that potential. At last, we have a book for practitioners and learners that makes corpus-assisted "learning to write" both accessible and achievable. This book will be invaluable to all English for Academic Purposes and first language writing teachers and learners that are interested in corpus-assisted learning approaches and techniques.'

Paul Thompson, University of Birmingham, UK
