GENRE
Genre is a term used to classify types of spoken or written
discourse. These are normally classified by content,
language, purpose and form.
Example
Learners analyse an example of a formal letter of
complaint, looking at structure, set phrases, formality and
purpose. They identify the key elements of this genre
then produce their own examples based on this data.
In the classroom
Written genres that learners deal with in class include
reports, news articles, letters of enquiry, stories,
invitations, e-mails and poems. Spoken genres include
presentations, speeches, interviews and informal
conversation.
PERSPECTIVE OF LANGUAGE
Language is seen in terms of a set of
conventionalized text types used by
discourse communities. Altough
conventionalised, genre are understood
to change and develop over time with
new ones emerging in response to
changing demands.
