`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.' LinguistList

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, organizational 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, lan Bruce proposes a new model of genre-based approaches to academic writing, and analyzes 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.

Industry Reviews

"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. Since it helps unveil the dynamics underlying the acquisition of genre competence, this book is a recommended reading to all those working in areas where genre classification has a bearing - from pedagogy to genre analysis, applied linguistics, corpus linguistics, computational linguistics, information studies, context-based information retrieval...This book is a valuable resource...." - Marina Santini, Linguist List, October 10, 2008--Sanford Lakoff "Linguist List "
