This course provides a comprehensive overview of genre analysis theories and their implications for L2 writing research and pedagogy. Covering foundational frameworks such as Systemic Functional Linguistics, English for Specific Purposes, and Rhetorical Genre Studies, the course investigates how genre shapes the writing of L2 learners in academic, professional, and everyday contexts.
