“…Likewise, specialised language has received a great deal of attention within the scope of Language for Specific Purposes (LSP) and Language for Academic Purposes (LAP), two major branches of study concerned with the description of scientific and/or academic discourse and the teaching of these genres mainly to postgraduate students as well as students in vocational schools and practitioners (Todd, 2003;Basturkmen, 2006;Fortanet-Gómez & Räisänen, 2008). Finally, specialist language has also been widely studied within the framework of Terminology, in which the main pedagogical focus is on training translators and interpreters as well as trainees from diverse expertise areas (Cabré, 1999;Fernández et al, 2009;Schnell and Rodríguez, 2010;Alcina, 2011;Picht & Acuña, 1997;Hsu, 2013).…”

Teaching a second language involves the elicitation and acquisition of the general expressions that may be useful for students in everyday situations in which the target language is spoken. However, in the present context of strong scientific de-velopment, many learners are also faced with the need to become acquainted with terminology (i.e. technical and/or specialised vocabulary) representing complex and abstract concepts. This holds especially true for immersion programmes, in which stu-dents must gain an understanding of curricular subjects such as mathematics or history entirely in a second language. A methodology is proposed in this paper for retriev-ing domain lexicons from texts which can contribute to the acquisition of specialised knowledge at later stages of pre-tertiary education. The paper first discusses the im-plementation of a five-phase learning strategy for students with no prior experience in terminology extraction and management, and then presents DEXTER, a tool suitable both for autonomous and in-class work. As it will be shown, the tool provides relevant results even with a relatively small amount of data, thus allowing a fast learning curve.
