Genre-Based Pedagogy

Genre-Based Pedagogy is a teaching approach that helps students understand and produce different types of writing by focusing on the specific features and purposes of each genre, such as reports, essays, or narratives. It emphasizes analyzing how these texts work, their structure, language, and style, to develop students’ ability to communicate effectively in various contexts. This method encourages students to see writing as a purposeful process, tailored to different audiences and goals, fostering both critical reading and confident writing skills within each genre’s conventions.
