         <description><![CDATA[<div>After watching the video, I have gained some insights on what to do when teaching in ESP classes, especially in using corpus.  An activity that I can apply in my classroom is <strong>vocabulary activity.</strong> This activity <strong>will enhance the learners' vocabulary as it may provide more instances of the words with the real context.</strong><br>In the teaching and learning of a second language (L2) or foreign language (FL), vocabulary is an essential </div><div>component of all comprehension (Folse, 2010). Whether in real-world tasks such as asking for travel information </div><div>or in academic tasks such as textbook reading, vocabulary is essential for the success of language learners. </div><div>Teachers in content-area classes (such as introduction to psychology and introduction to chemistry) frequently </div><div>teach content-specific vocabulary but are not aware of the challenges that L2 and FL learners encounter because </div><div>they do not know the specialized vocabulary or the basic words surrounding the content-specific vocabulary. Thus, <strong>by using corpus in language classes, I think learners will be exposed  to the natural language of the specific fields. </strong><br>I like the idea of using <strong>Gap Filling exercise or KWIC gap activity</strong>.  I personally feel that by administering this activity to the learners, <strong>the learners will be able to notice the patterns of the sentences and also they will be able to be aware of the different functions of words.</strong></div><div> </div>]]></description>

Students can identify the functions and patterns of the sentence.<br><br>2) Specialized vocabulary.  The main barrier in proficiency within a discipline is the lack of vocabulary, specifically the lack of exposure towards specialized vocabulary.
