Abstract: This article focuses on the analysis of written texts by text analysis tools as a useful instrument to ESP teachers in the design of their courses and seminars. The first past of this study presents several theoretical aspects related to text analysis, such as the definition of texts and outline of their main characteristics, the roles played by lexical density and cohesiveness in understanding the meanings of texts. The second part represents the practical section and presents the results of three text analysis tools obtained after processing a specialized corpus from the field of economic sciences. These results (in terms of lexical density, readability scores, keywords, most frequently used words) revealed important pieces of information that could assist teachers in developing their students’ reading and writing skills and in choosing their teaching materials.
