GOMEZ BURGOS, Eric. First Year University Students' Use of Formulaic Sequences in Oral and Written Descriptions. profile [online]. 2015, vol.17, n.1, pp.25-33. ISSN 1657-0790. https://doi.org/10.15446/profile.v17n1.43438.
The present article investigates the use of first year university students' formulaic sequences in written and oral texts in an English as a foreign language context. The corpus of the study consists of eight descriptive texts-four written and four oral-which were composed of four students of English Pedagogy at a university in Santiago, Chile. The investigation is a case study where the corpora were analysed qualitatively. The results show that first-year students use similar formulaic sequences in written and oral texts and many of the expressions generally used in spoken discourse are used by students in written texts.
