| Description | The presentation reports the results of the study aimed at exploring the effect of two different modes of multi-draft e-feedback on lexical development of academic register in ESAP students’ writing using the corpus linguistic tool AntWordProfiler. The study investigates the lexical developments in academic register between pre-test and post-test learner corpora collected in two comparison groups which differ in the treatments they received in terms of multi-draft feedback provided. The results indicate that the use of academic and mainly specific vocabulary developed between the pre-test and post-test writings at the expense of the less advanced and specific vocabulary. |
