  3. There has beenincreasedattentiongiventothenotion of genre in discoursestudies as well as in thearea of languageteachingandlearning. • Theapproachtogenreanalysiscommonlyapplied in theteaching of English forspecificpurposes is based on Swales (1981, 1990) analyses of thediscoursestructure of researchintroductions.

  4. WHAT IS GENRE? Genresareways in whichpeople ‘getthings done’ throughtheiruse of spokenandwrittendiscourse. • In 1990, Swales, the accepted leader in genre and move analysis in the field of ESP, defined a genre as a class of communicative events commonly used by the members of a given community who share some set of communicative purposes.

  5. BloorandBloor (1993) definedgenre as aspecificproduct of a socialpracticewhich can be describedandtaughtbecause of itsformalcharacteristics. • For Miller (1984), genre was a kind of social action which took place in a specific discourse community.

  6. Genreschangethrough time. Thismay, forexample, be in responsetochanges in technologies. • Bhatia (1997) saysthat ‘genreembedding’ referstowhereonegenre, forexample, a letter, a story, is usedforanother ‘conventionallydistinct’ genre, such as an advertisementtosell a product, or a jobadvertisement.

  7. DEFINING GENRE • Martin’s (1984:25) definesgenre as ‘a staged, goal-oriented, purposefulactivity’. Swales(2004: 61) says he prefersthenotion of ‘metaphor’ fortalkingaboutgenres, ratherthan ‘definition’.

  8. CHOICE AND CONSTRAINT IN THE USE OF SPOKEN and WRİTTEN GENRES • Genresaredynamicandopentochange, but it is not a case of ‘freeforall’ or ‘anythinggoes’. • As Devitt (2004: 86) explains, conformityamonggenreusers ‘is a fact of genre, forgenresprovide an expectedway of acting’.

  9.
