Abstract

With the increasingly consolidated status of English as the universal language for international academic communication, the competence of Academic English Writing has become a key focus and difficulty in higher foreign language teaching. This paper adopts an empirical research method to explore the impact of Corpus-driven Teaching on learners' production effect of Academic English Writing. The research shows that the corpus-based data-driven learning model can significantly improve the linguistic accuracy, lexical complexity and diversity, as well as textual coherence of students' writing output, while enhancing learners' autonomous learning ability and writing motivation. This study provides empirical support and practical guidance for the application of corpus technology in the teaching of Academic English Writing.
