Abstract

This corpus lesson is designed to familiarize students of English for Academic Purposes (EAP) with a wide range of transition words. Using the Corpus of Contemporary American English, students distinguish transition words by finding differences in meaning, grammaticality, and sentence position. The inductive inquiry focus of this lesson can heighten student interest in the lexical nuances and grammatical behavior of these highly frequent words, better equipping students to use transitions effectively in their own writing.
