How to build an academic language corpus?

This article introduces steps for building an academic corpus
The practical toolkit presented in this article is based on extensive research at Lancaster University led by Dr Dana Gablasova in collaboration with partners at six participating universities: Thammasat University (TU) and Prince of Songkla University (PSU) (both in Thailand), Xi’an Jiaotong University (XJTU) and Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University (XJLTU) (both in China), and Università Degli Studi di Milano (UniMi) and Università di Torino (UniTo) (both in Italy). The research, funded by British Council, aims to create and analyse a large-scale transnational corpus of student academic writing produced in English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) higher education contexts.
