6. Introduction
Researchers have been interested in genre as a tool for developing L1 L2 instruction.
Thus genre has turned into a popular framework for analyzing the form and the function of
non-literary discourse .
ESP New Rhetoric
Form
Australian
purpose Lexical &
grammatical features
and their functions
Three major traditions in genre analyses have appeared which contributed in its
development and led to the variation of its theories and pedagogical implication.

7. ESP ANALYSIS:
ESP scholars and researchers gave a big interest to genre as a method for
analyzing and teaching L2 for academic or occupational purposes.
Researchers in this field have identified them as oral and written texts types
regarding the social context.
Swales describes genre as communicative events that are characterized by
Style Content
Targeted
audience

8. ESP: EAP/EPC CLASSES
The effects of genre theory and analysis have received a lot
of from ESP researchers for EAP and EPC.

9. Goals :
Improving the ability to read and
write academically and functioning
grammar
Intended to assist student
"participate effectively in the school
curriculum and the larger
community."
2- EMPOWERING STUDENTS:
Assistant on native speakers in learning
the generals of English-speaking
discourse communities
Since many ESP users are graduate
students, it's possible that they aren't
necessarily seen as lacking in the need
for empowerment and independence.
1- HELP STUDENT SUCCEED

10. THE ESP FRAMEWORK:
A lot of researchers have offered many definitions of genres as helpful discourse
model of ESP writing instructors, however they haven't provided the techniques
used to deliver the data in classroom.
Some scholar explains the classroom exercises he uses in his Dissertation,
Thesis and written expression to improve the writing skills of non-native
speakers.

11. New Rhetoric traditions
02

12. New rhetoric tradition
Theory and Analysis Different in terms of Conceptualization and Analysis.
02
Descriptions of academic and professional texts actions text perform.
It is concerned with L1 teaching including: rhetoric
composition studies and Professional writing
The focus Rhetoric School is more on content situational context rather than
then forms, social purposes and actions related to the genre's situations.
Miller stated that Rhetoric tradition must be center not on the
substance or the form but on the action it is used to accomplish.
The use of ethnographic techniques such as questionnaires, interviews,
classroom observation more than linguistic features in analyzing the texts

13. Context
Bazerman ‘The more understanding you are the better appropriate and effective
you will be’,
Teaching text forms was neglected somehow
Focus was more on helping students in understanding the
social function of the genres and the contexts in which
genres are used.
R.T came as an influence of ESP
The aim is making students understand all the genres texts
from social situations

14. Goals:
Rhetoric tradition aimed to help
students in becoming successful
readers and writers in both
academic and workplace
contexts.
All the traditions are ideological
except the R.T because of it's
sample of population who are
mostly graduated, post graduates,
and academic professionals who
are not likely to be perceived as
needing the same empowering as
the others.
2- EMPOWERING STUDENTS:
1- HELP STUDENT SUCCEED

15. Framework:
school lacked framework
Neglected teaching Language features and functions of both Academic and Professional genres.
- Freedman and Medway: Direct translations into teaching are almost entirely absent".
- R.T used to provide only description and context of the genres.

16. Framework:
Students awarness is related to the social context that shape their Writings
01

features of the situation
02

text + Audience
03
Circumstances of the

To raise the

17. Australian traditions

18. Australian genre theories :
The theories of the 3 traditions have developed independently during the same period
of time .
The approaches to Australian genre analyses were centered around the theory
named Systemic Functional Linguistics developed by Michael Halliday.
Mostly interested in the relationship between language and its function in social
setting

19. Australian genre theories :
activity
going on
Field
Relationship
between
participants
Tenor
channel of
communication
Mode
key features
controlling
Language forms
‘Halliday 1978’
These
three
combined
elements
determine
the
language
register .

20. Australian context:
The emphasis was on children and adolescents' contexts (primary and
secondary schools ) and lately on adult migrants' English education and
workplace programs .
primary / secondary / adult education .
Genre-based instruction started as an educational experiment . They analyzed genres
produced by primary school students progressively .
concerned with literacy education as a result they founded LERN (literacy
education research network)

21. Genre based orientation was adopted by AMES
Providing government supported English courses to newly
arrived migrants
All under the government funded programe AMEP

22. Australian genre goals :
1- Helping students succeed which is believed to be the
aim of any instructional theory or tradition
To achieve this goal each tradition argues that the
emphasis should be placed on certain features
Australians believe that the main concern is teaching
social functions and concepts
Australians believe that the main concern is teaching
social functions and concepts

23. Australian genre goals :
2-empowerring students
Focusing of linguistic recourses for social success
Exploiting powerful school genres such as: reports
exposition
Regarding adult sector and new migrants :
“genre work [in Australia] has been both a
pedagogical and political project” Kress (1993)

24. Modeling
Independent construction
Joint negotiation of text
genre
based
pedagogy
is divided
into 3
phases :
It is the richest tradition with frameworks and methodologies
Australian framework:

26. Reason for difference in framework:
Different audience
ESP and New Rhetoric: publication in research journals whose audience are
academic readers interested in discourse analyses
Australian: while this tradition provided genres to different populations
such as –Academic readers and school teachers as well as adult
language and literacy instructors
Resulting in variety of frameworks that meet each audiences needs

27. Australian framework:
Believes about effectiveness
New Rhetoric: researchers doubted the usage of genres in classroom instruction would be
more helpful in making students better writers and readers of text
ESP & Australian: Scholars had been more interested in constructing models and materials
for teaching genres
Systemic functional researches criticized the restricted amount of attention given
to the process approaches in order to explicitly teach language structures

28. Scope of implication :
In ESP, concentrated on how genre based pedagogy plays out in individual
classrooms.
Some of the scholars’ works are used nowadays in universities
In New Rhetoric, I is difficult to measure the ways in which genre affected
classroom practice
Application have been reported on a case by case rather then in terms
Australian has only 6% of the population of north america which makes it easier
for researches to reach significant portions of the educational comunities
Australian genre scholars forme a unified group comparing to those of ESP

29. 1) linking form and function :
To help ESL instructors become more aware of the connections between the formal and functional
characteristics of the texts they use in the classroom .
Implication for ESL:
2) Converting theory into practice:
Scholars in the three traditions offer useful perspective on converting genre theory and Analysis
into classroom practice .
