In this work, we discuss the characteristics of the academic writing in English language (EL) of Brazilian university students. We built a corpus for analysis with 82 texts written by Brazilian university students with proficiency at level B1 of EL and, based on the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) and the Longmam Grammar based on corpus of Biber et al. (1999), we investigated about the use of the quantifiers some, many and any. For data collection and analysis, the AntConc® computational tool was used. The design of our dissertation considers the works on Academic Writing and Corpus Linguistics of Berber Sardinha (2004, 2010), Dayrell (2011), Dew (2010), Romer (2004) and Viana (2011). The second stage of the research is the execution of didactic activities based on corpus.Downloads
