The idea of teaching writing through genres is intuitively appealing, but teachers have questions. This book aims to tackle these questions and provide guidance for teachers and teacher educators.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 150 pages
Publication date: 30 March 2023
Publisher: The University of Michigan Press


The notion of imparting writing skills through genres, as opposed to relying on prescriptive forms, templates, and rhetorical modes, holds an inherent appeal. However, it is natural for teachers to raise concerns and pose thoughtful questions about this approach. They deserve to seek answers, and their queries are entirely valid.

"What exactly are genres? What constitutes genre-based instruction? What kind of writing do students produce when they steer clear of essays? Is it more convenient to teach and learn five-paragraph essays? What role does language play in genre-based teaching? And numerous other questions arise. These are challenging concerns that both novice and seasoned educators have grappled with.

This book aims to address some of the most frequently asked questions by teachers, teacher educators, and administrators who are transitioning towards a genre-based teaching methodology. By exploring these topics in depth, we hope to provide valuable insights and guidance for those who are eager to embrace this innovative approach to writing instruction."
