The communication is aimed at illustrating the projects carried out in non-linguistic Faculties and within the framework of ESP courses. The projects were meant to check the added value of a combination of corpus linguistics and discourse analysis in teaching/learning English in non-linguistic Faculties, to promote students’ involvement and active participation in the learning process, to increase language awareness through corpus analysis of specialized texts. The teaching/learning experience has helped students explore language behaviour in the specialised textual environment which is embedded in the discursive practices of professional communities, facilitated language English learning/teaching by enhancing motivation and prompted the acquisition of skills, autonomy and language awareness for students to face studying and working contexts in the new world scenarios
