Synopsis

This book presents an original theory and practice for the genre teaching of literacy. The genre approach involves teaching grammar and text form explicitly again, concentrating on content, structure and sequence in the process of becoming literate. This new approach avoids the formalisation of traditional grammar, by linking different text forms to the different social purposes of texts. This volume presents this innovative approach to teaching with contributions the key theorists and practitioners in the genre literacy movement. It is of vital significance in the growing debate on methods of teaching literacy.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Literacy remains a contentious and polarized educational, media and political issue. What has emerged from the continuing debate is a recognition that literacy in education is allied closely with matters of language and culture, ideology and discourse, knowledge and power. Drawing perspectives variously from critical social theory and cultural studies, poststructuralism and feminisms, sociolinguistics and the ethnography of communication, social history and comparative education, the contributors begin a critical interrogation of taken-for-granted assumptions which have guided educational policy, research and practice.
