2. The list addresses issues connected to bundle length and overlap
3. The list offers information on how lexical bundles are used in context
4. The list links lexical bundles to the functions they perform in scientific texts
5. The list can facilitate the conscious analysis of lexical bundles
6. The list can help provide non-native science writers with more exposure to lexical bundles
7. Concluding remarks
6. Specific activities for the teaching of lexical bundles in scientific discourse
1. Activities for noticing bundles
Activity 1. Noticing bundles for comparing and contrasting
Activity 2. Asking students about the use of lexical bundles (Eriksson 2012, 204)
