Definition
The genre-based approach is a teaching method that developed
for delivering a text type or genre based on its social purpose, thus
the interpreting process will be more focus on the whole of the text
rather than its sentence by sentence (Lin, 2006).
Presentation title 3
Purpose
Basically, genre-based approach aims at developing students' literacy skills
focusing on the social processes such as explain, describe, and argue (Kay &
Dudley-Evans, 1998).

providing students
with background
knowledge about
the topic.
In this stage, a particular
genre is introduced
through a model text. It
aims at making student

structure and linguistic
features of the text type.
teacher and students work

Genre Based Approach can give effect to the students' writing ability. It means that
with this genre-based approach students can develop the knowledge and skill to
deal with spoken and written text in social context. It also purposes to prevent a
learner from gaining access to opportunities to develop their literacy skills in a
second language and from understanding and responding to the written text.
