Vocabulary Profile and Lexical Bundles of EFL Academic Writing

 Formulaic language is defined as sequences of words "stored and retrieved whole from the memory at the time of use, rather than being subject to generation or analysis by the language grammar" (Wray and Perkins 2000, 1). 

Lexical Bundle is defined as "a recurring sequence of three or more words" that "commonly go together in natural discourse" (Biber et al. 1999, 990). 

Lexical bundles are two or more string of words that co-occur frequently in a corpus. Hence, this corpus-based research design study examines the effects of lexical bundles on English as a foreign language learner’s abstract genre academic writing skills, and it also investigates students’ perception towards lexical bundles instruction to enhance their academic writing skills. Lexical bundles, on the other hand, are groups of words that appear repeatedly in the same register. Combinations of three or more words identified empirically in a natural language corpus. Students have instructed their academic writing through corpus informed instruction for two months, and the data were gathered through pre and post-tests and questionnaire.
