1) become familiar with theoretical and methodological foundations of genre analysis
2) have analytical skills in working with samples of ESP genres
3) gain first-hand experience in undertaking a genre analysis (in relation to ESP teaching materials)In this course, we will focus on ESP texts of different kinds within an educational linguistic framework. By keeping the overall aims of ESP teaching in mind, we will describe and analyse the features and structures of a selection of text types or genres. For this end, we will also work with language corpora, i.e. computerised collections of texts, and learn to use some relevant concordancing software packages. Additionally, we will discuss the underlying assumptions of various theoretical approaches and their implications for doing ESP-related discourse and genre analysis. During the last third of the course, students will work on their self-selected ESP genre analytical projects.This course combines mini-lectures, assignments, reading-based group work and discussion, and student-directed research work leading to a presentation and a written project report. Students who decide to write their bachelor paper will produce a research paper based on their ESP genre project.
