| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
As the foundation for a departmental ESP (English for Specific Purposes) curriculum and materials development, this study established preliminary English wordlists for students of radiological sciences. Considering the students'progress of study in the college, three specialized corpora were compiled from sources targeting audiences with different levels of specialized knowledge: (1) patient education materials (PE), (2) introductory university textbooks (TB), and (3) research articles (RA). From each corpus, key words were extracted based on frequency, range, and keyness statistic. This resulted in the three lists of 308, 342, and 370 word families, with text coverages of 12.0%, 12.7%, and 15.4% respectively.
