Academic Writing and Genre : A Systematic Analysis Hardback
by Dr Ian (University of Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand) Bruce
Hardback
Description
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.
