The communication is aimed at illustrating the projects carried out in non-linguistic Faculties and within the framework of ESP courses. The projects were meant to check the added value of a combination of corpus linguistics and discourse analysis in teaching/learning English in non-linguistic Faculties, to promote students’ involvement and active participation in the learning process, to increase language awareness through corpus analysis of specialized texts. The teaching/learning experience has helped students explore language behaviour in the specialised textual environment which is embedded in the discursive practices of professional communities, facilitated language English learning/teaching by enhancing motivation and prompted the acquisition of skills, autonomy and language awareness for students to face studying and working contexts in the new world scenarios.

Abstract
The communication is aimed at illustrating the projects carried out in non-linguistic Faculties and within the framework of ESP courses. The projects were meant to check the added value of a combination of corpus linguistics and discourse analysis in teaching/learning English in non-linguistic Faculties, to promote students’ involvement and active participation in the learning process, to increase language awareness through corpus analysis of specialized texts. The teaching/learning experience has helped students explore language behaviour in the specialised textual environment which is embedded in the discursive practices of professional communities, facilitated language English learning/teaching by enhancing motivation and prompted the acquisition of skills, autonomy and language awareness for students to face studying and working contexts in the new world scenarios.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
