notion of real content, which does not involve terms with technical knowledge but sequences of common lexis with certain communicative function. Hence this study contributes in objectively identifying real content for ESP practitioners with corpus methodology.
The identification of formulaic language in the present thesis also evidences the existence of phraseology with consideration of genres. By comparing formulaic language composed with identical common words across genres, this study asserts that observation of variation of formulaic language cannot be divorced from specific genres, and indicates the importance of context in vocabulary teaching. This thesis not only provides concrete evidence for Sinclair’s (1991) idea of idiom principle with
consideration of genres, but also indicates that Lexical Approach (Lewis, 2000), a teaching method that incorporates the notion of idiom principle, shall lay more emphasis on the factor of genre.
On the perspective of methodology, this thesis presents a successful
demonstration of corpus method on extracting language content for ESP instruction.
With objectives of curriculum clearly defined (such as an ESP program focusing on non-technical elements), corpus tools are handy equipment for ESP practitioners to locate teaching points. The researcher hence advocates employment of corpus tools in the process of curriculum design for ESP courses, along with collaboration between subject teachers and language teachers.
5.3 Research in prospect
Based on this thesis, future research can be continued in lexical study, genre

This study has investigated functionality of SHEWR [高中英文參考詞彙表], in which vocabulary is categorized in six levels. Words belonging to the six levels could be further analyzed with the same Business Reports Corpus and Brown Corpus to scrutinize the degree of difficulty of the six-level word bank. Moreover, wordlist for English teaching in junior high school could be covered to expand this thread of research on common-word lists in pedagogical context of Taiwan to reveal the connection
between EGP and ESP.
As for genre analyses, further investigation of formulaic language could be executed in different sections of 20-F. Viewed as one definite genre, the document of 20-F is in fact composed with different sections with particular aims for information disclosure, such as information of the company (Item 4 in 20-F), unresolved staff comments (Item 4A in 20-F), corporate governance (Item 16G in 20-F), and so forth.
Deeper observation can be made among these various sections within the same genre.
Also, cross-genre analyses can be conducted with larger amount of texts in reportage, official documents or other types of texts. This thesis is limited with the size of Brown Corpus and it is believed that a larger corpus will help enhance future research. More knowledge on analyzing genre from genre theories also needs to be consulted to study communicative function of formulaic language.
Lastly, in the perspective of corpus linguistics, this thesis could be executed with one another corpus software ConcGram (Greaves, 2005). ConcGram is designed to scrutinize lexical permutations without querying the node item in advance. It is
believed that the application of ConcGram will throw light on the same issue of variation of formulaic language across genres.
