"With a clear pedagogical focus, Exploring academic vocabulary is essential textbook for anyone interesting in applying corpus technologies to classroom practice. I would recommend this resource to language data enthusiasts, (second) language learners, teachers and researchers."
Associate Professor Peter Crosthwaite, The University of Queensland, Australia
"This innovative textbook seamlessly bridges theory and practice, empowering learners to explore academic vocabulary independently through hands-off DDL. Its clear, well-structured approach makes corpus linguistics both accessible and valuable for EFL and EAP students in IELTS or EMI contexts."
Professor Jihua Dong, Shandong University, China
"This book on learning academic vocabulary provides hands on, corpus-based, rich opportunities to engage with words which are important to understand and use accurately. It provides clear information about meanings in academic contexts, frequency, common grammatical patterns and how to use them in context. This is a very useful book."
Professor Averil Coxhead, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand
