This paper aims to conduct a corpus-based study of English education textbooks and research articles through key cluster analysis. Specifically, using WordSmith Tools, this study investigates structural and functional features of English key clusters in the English education corpus. The English education corpus consists of three sub-corpora: TBC(Textbook Corpus), FWAC(Foreign Writer Article Corpus), KWAC(Korean Writer Article Corpus). The results show that compared with general corpus (BNC Baby), TBC, FWAC and KWAC have specific features, with differences and similarities in terms of 4-word cluster and key clusters. Regarding structural patterns, TBC has more NP-based clusters. Also, passive verb + PP patterns are more used with high keyness in the KWAC. In terms of functional features, it is noteworthy that the English education corpus contains genre-specific features with a considerable number of key clusters which belong to the categories of ‘others.’ Based on the study, pedagogical implications and suggestions for further study are provided in the conclusion.
