Abstract: The mastery of academic clusters can contribute to writers' self-confidence as well as a possible increase in the quality of their academic writing. This study explored the influence of integrating academic clusters and corpus tools into two courses among ten graduate students and 35 seniors in Taiwan. The analysis of the online posts, interviews, reflections and questionnaire concluded that rich exposure to academic clusters and corpus tools could foster graduate students' and undergraduates' knowledge and use of academic clusters in their academic writing. Integrations of academic clusters and corpus tools were suggested to be included into academic writing courses in order to foster EFL writers' knowledge of and attitude toward academic clusters and corpus tools.
