Introduction

[Mohd Faiz Sathi. bin Abdullah]

Hi everyone!

I've recently joined the list. I am Faiz Abdullah. I teach Speech
Communication at the undergraduate level, and have taught Discourse
Analysis,and Expository Writing to postgraduates at the Putra University of
Malaysia. In my doctoral study, I worked on genre-based approaches to
academic reading/writing in English, mainly on the basis of Swales' (1981,
1990), and Bhatia's (1993) models of non-literary genre. I am interested in
studies on academic genres across languages, and related issues about
ideology/power, so will apreciate any viewpoints and/or help in locating
publications. Thanks in advance and cheers.
