Academic Writing and Genre (eBook, PDF)

A Systematic Analysis

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The focus of this book is the use of genre-based approaches to teaching academic writing. Genre-based courses enable second language learners to integrate their linguistic, organisational and contextual knowledge in a variety of different tasks. The book reviews pedagogical approaches to genre through English for Specific Purposes and Systemic Functional Linguistics to present a synthesis of the current research being undertaken in the field. From this theoretical base, Ian Bruce proposes a new model of genre-based approaches to academic writing, and analyses the ways in which this can be implemented in pedagogy and curriculum design.

Academic Writing and Genre is a cutting-edge monograph which will be essential reading for researchers in applied linguistics.
