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. "The book is informative, clearly written and well organized. It is a significant contribution to the genre discussion in general, and to the teaching of academic writing in particular… This book is a valuable resource." Marina Santini, Linguist List "The most valuable characteristic of Academic writing and genre is that it provides a rich and detailed discussion on the need for the inclusion of both social and cognitive genres. The author successfully manages to guide readers towards a general as well as comprehensive understanding of the necessity to deploy the dual processing theory of language learning and use."
