Book Synopsis



Genre-Based approaches to Second Language Writing Instruction have become a powerful and popular means of assisting second and multilingual writers in learning to engage in professional, pedagogical and academic genres that are often high-stakes. This book presents a framework for teaching second language and multilingual writing that integrates Concept-Based Language Instruction and Genre-Based Writing Pedagogy. The authors present three large-scale implementations, within a graduate legal writing context, a cross-disciplinary doctoral research writing context and a graduate mechanical engineering context, and demonstrate how the pedagogical and theoretical framework is interdisciplinary, flexible and comprehensive. It provides a means of theorizing, researching, teaching and assessing the development of second language writer genre knowledge from nascency through expertise and equips second language writing instructors with a theoretical and practical toolkit to empower student writers to be more agentive, aware and strategic in their writing.



Review Quotes




Bringing together three innovative research projects that integrate Vygotskian concept-based language instruction and genre-based writing pedagogy, this book illustrates Sociocultural Theory's relevance to distinct contexts as well as how the same principles can generate practices that are responsive to local needs. An outstanding contribution to the field!

Connecting theory, research, and practice, the authors provide an accessible introduction to an innovative pedagogical approach - Concept-Based Genre Writing Pedagogy. This book provides insights for scholarship as well as practical applications. It will be a valuable resource for graduate students, practitioners, and researchers interested in EAP, genre-based writing instruction, and concept-based language instruction.

Sociocultural Theory is a critical theory of human learning and development, yet for many, it can be challenging to comprehend. This book provides one of the most accessible, well-crafted introductions to the theory to date. Casal, Kurtz, and Qiu's book is a must for those who are interested in exploring the intersections of Sociocultural Theory, genre, and writing pedagogy.
