Outline of Research at the Start

This research will start with an initial assessment of EAL learners’ vocabulary and its relationship to their academic performance.We will then work on the development of the EAL-corpus and word list. After the corpus and word list have been developed, we will validate them by using them to analyze a separate corpus of EAL texts as well as assessing EAL learners' actual knowledge of the words in the word list that we have developed. Finally, the word list and corpus will be made available for both teachers and researchers to use with their own EAL learners.
