Integrating corpus consultation to help students' re-use of vocabulary items for essay-drafting has not been sufficiently examined in instructional contexts. This chapter investigated the linguistic features of target words for which students consulted concordance programs to include in essays by documenting the DDL of three groups of EFL students in a Taiwanese college writing program. Participant essays, video files of consultation processes, responses to questionnaires, interviews, and written records of corpus consultation were examined. Researchers found 88.14% of all consulted words were incorporated into essays, with learners looking up 3.18 words. The lexical profile of consulted words indicates that learners mainly used the most common 1,000 to 2,000 words with more verbs more frequently consulted than nouns. Students queried words for confirmation or incorporated the discovered vocabulary into essays. As emergent pattern hunters, the participants made only limited use of dictionaries and bilingual resources. Implications of the findings are discussed.

In this article the authors document an experimental writing program for honors and remedial students at the College of the Virgin Islands. The program, which involved linguistic analyses of Creole and English, included discussion of the political, sociological, and psychological dimensions of language use and writing in and about both languages. Elsasser and Irvine conclude that writing programs based on biliteracy in Creole and English would not only enable students to perform well in both languages but would expand the functions of Creole as well.

SummaryA computer-assisted system designed to write drug prescriptions and patient instructions has been in operation in a dermatologist’s office for two years. Almost all prescriptions are generated by the machine. Drug dosages, directions, and labeling phrases are retrieved from a diagnosis-oriented formulary of 300 drug products. A prescription template with preselected default options is displayed on a terminal screen where selection is made with the use of the video pointer. Typing skill is not required, as a detailed prescription can be produced from the use of only five function keys. Prescriptions and sets of relevant instructions for the patient are computer-printed. Therapy summaries for the medical record also are automatically composed and printed.
