We are excited to announce that the EMI Corpus of Student Academic Writing 
will be launched on 17 June 2026. Join us for the launch to hear more about
how the corpus was constructed, what data it contains, and how to access it.

EMI (English Medium Instruction) is a global pedagogical trend, with
thousands of students studying for their degrees through the medium of
English. The EMI Corpus captures disciplinary writing in this educational
context from a number of countries and institutions. Currently, the EMI
Corpus contains more than 6 million words from over 2,000 pieces of student
academic writing in English from eight universities in Austria, China,
Italy, Thailand and the UK (including data from Lancaster University
student writing). The corpus represents writing from three major
disciplinary areas: Arts, Humanities and Social Science, Business and
Management, and Science and Technology.

The project was funded by the British Council’s Future of English project,
and supported by the Centre for Corpus Approaches to Social Science (CASS)
and Linguistics and English Language at Lancaster University. You can read
more about the corpus and the project here:
