Corpus-based research is well placed to inform the content of ESP teaching. Based on the computer information processing technology, the corpus gathers a large number of authentic language materials from the reality so that it can quickly and fairly accurately identify important language data in large-scale language materials. The corpora or the web-as-corpus in ESP contexts or resources can provide learners with examples of the right types of texts, which are relevant to their needs. By means of corpus, it is beneficial to transform traditional teacher-centered teaching into student-centered knowledge-exploring model for ESP teaching.
