Abstract

This study explores the value of adding a diachronic perspective to EAP pedagogy, which is illustrated with a case study that incorporated diachronic changes of the discourse act of graphic data commentary into its teaching. A four-step teaching procedure was implemented in a one-semester academic English writing course for EFL learners. It was found that adding the diachronic content into the teaching process can enhance learners’ awareness of the historical changes in academic language, which in turn assists them to fulfill EAP reading/writing tasks situated in different historical periods.
