Abstract
This paper investigates the application of
corpus linguistics in improving the language skills of engineering students.
Effective communication, both in written and spoken forms, is essential for
academic success and professional development in engineering. However, many
engineering students face challenges when mastering language skills due to
their focus on technical knowledge. Corpus linguistics, an empirical study of
language based on authentic texts, offers a promising solution for addressing
these challenges. By analyzing engineering-specific corpora, this study
examines how corpus-based teaching methods can enhance vocabulary acquisition,
academic writing, and technical communication among engineering students. The
results suggest that corpus linguistics can be a valuable tool in bridging the
gap between technical language and broader communicative skills, ultimately
helping students become more proficient in academic and professional contexts.
