Abstract:

Genre-Based approaches to Second Language Writing Instruction have
become a powerful and popular means of assisting second and
multilingual writers in learning to engage in professional,
pedagogical and academic genres that are often high-stakes. This book
presents a framework for teaching second language and multilingual
writing that integrates Concept-Based Language Instruction and
Genre-Based Writing Pedagogy. The authors present three large-scale
implementations, within a graduate legal writing context, a
cross-disciplinary doctoral research writing context and a graduate
mechanical engineering context, and demonstrate how the pedagogical
and theoretical framework is interdisciplinary, flexible and
comprehensive. It provides a means of theorizing, researching,
teaching and assessing the development of second language writer genre
knowledge from nascency through expertise and equips second language
writing instructors with a theoretical and practical toolkit to
empower student writers to be more agentive, aware and strategic in
their writing.
