Today we discussed how writing for different genre fits into our EAP courses. Issues that arose over the two chats included:
- What genre actually is
- What essays actually are
- Where we get samples of authentic genre writing from for our students
- The relationships we have with content-course professors
- The level we pitch genre analysis and writing at
- If 5-paragraph essays hold any useful weighting
- ESP coursebook authenticity in their samples and genre teaching
If you’d like to comment on any of these issues or any others related to this topic, maybe you’d also like to check out the transcripts from the chats too:
