This paper examines how the instruction of military English can take advantage of the incorporation of both ESP genre pedagogy and corpus-based approach to cope with the issues of typical military English instruction. Benefiting from the corpus approach, the instruction exploited the findings of corpus analyses in terms of keyness and frequency, the visualization of the content of genre, and concordances for intensive vocabulary learning. Genre pedagogy meanwhile enabled the instruction to cover not only word but also discourse level and to adopt both top-down and bottom-up learning opportunities by providing a theoretical framework. Genre analysis in particular promotes learners' autonomy. Genre analysis in particular promotes learners' autonomy. This study suggests a possible model for developing ESP courses for other varieties of English such as business English.
