Abstract: Despite disciplinary specificity, corpus-based analysis has been preferred over other contemporary techniquessuch as discourse analysis, syllabus benchmarking, and generic template mapping due to domain sensitivity andsignificant pedagogical alignment benefits. The present study aims to address this methodological gap by examining theapplicability of corpus-informed instruction, focusing on three competency-driven curriculum parameters. We performeda summation utility modeling analysis to map the research on English for Specific Purposes (ESP) and investigatehow the modular structure of competency-based instruction, according to an established evaluation matrix (linguisticfunction, communicative purpose, lexical distribution and syntactic construction, register variation and task specificity,interactional demand, skill integration, and semantic flexibility), might be shifting in the context of a learner-centeredcurriculum reform. We conceptualize the curriculum framework as the collective instructional orientation of an educationalsystem towards the formulation, delivery, assessment, and iteration of language tasks built on a sense of cognitiverelevance, functional transparency, contextual realism and learner autonomy. Our analysis of regression-based datasetsshows that lexico-grammatical structuring is consistently embedded in all components of the competency model, andenabling the emergence of adaptive patterns of language use and task performance, such as genre-based instruction andskill-mapping frameworks, which may be changing teacher perceptions of curricular priorities and affecting the structureand flexibility. Our findings suggest that teaching methodology and corpus design are interconnected and influencingone another, but the impact of data-driven learning on skill transfer and competency formation is yet unclear. Section 5.2identifies some key implications that educators and curriculum planners may use to strengthen the practical relevance oflanguage education, taking the specific institutional dynamics of competency-oriented education in the ESP domain intoaccount
