Symposium article: Simulation-based L2 writing instruction: Enhancement through genre analysis

An Cheng

Oklahoma State University, USA

Researchers have highlighted various benefits of the simulation-based approach to second language (L2) writing instruction. In this article, the author argues, with specific pedagogical scenarios, that an explicit focus on genre and genre analysis in simulation-based L2 writing instruction can further enhance learners' reading of content materials, heighten students' awareness of discipline-specific generic features, and develop their discourse competence and writing accuracy.

Key Words: EAP • ESP • genre studies • genre analysis • L2 writing • processing of content materials • simulations • textual practices • writing instruction • writing accuracy
