Produktbeschreibung
This book analyzes how the English as a Second Language (ESL) pedagogic genre has been re-contextualized in the Shanghai Foreign Language Education Press National College English Teaching Contest (SFLEP) for presentation to the contest judges and audience. Departing from prior research on contest discourse, it focuses on the role of teaching contests in re-contextualizing educational practices. Moreover, it addresses the processes of genre blurring and solidification at work in new discourse events.
The results presented here serve to frame teaching contest discourse in a fuller contextual configuration and will help contest sponsors, participants, and audience members better understand this popular social event and its relations to real-world teaching practices, while simultaneously helping teachers to understand the relevance of such contest practice. Moreover, the research methods will benefit those linguists who are interested in researchingother types of event discourses.

Rezensionen
"Through their systemic and pedagogic analysis, Liu and Irwin show how winning examples of Mock Teaching are presented as exemplars of ESL pedagogy. ... It shows the extracurricular translation of a pedagogic discourse and the implications of this translation for schooling. ...This volume is recommended for all interested in discourse, particularly from a generic or SFL perspective, as well as those interested in the implications of teaching competitions on pedagogy." (Thomas Amundrud, Word, Vol. 64 (3), 2018)
