This work investigates the development of English as a Foreign
Language (EFL) learners generic competence in reading, writing and
translation within the particular Chinese classroom context. It
provides a new perspective for the current teaching and research in
reading, writing, translation within the EFL contexts and offers an
insightful framework for pedagogical applications in language
learning and teaching. Its findings will be extremely valuable not
only in local situations, but also more generally in a wider
regional and global context as well.
The book employs a series of research tools, including
pre-research and post-research questionnaires, pre-test and
post-test of reading/writing/translation, multi-faceted writing
portfolios (including reflection reports), textual analysis and
in-depth interviews. It involves 209 participants from a primary
university in Wuhan, among whom 171 are undergraduates and 38 are
postgraduates. And it draws on the analysis of such varied
multi-sourced data both qualitatively and quantitatively.
Genre-based teaching is playing a critical role in initiating
EFL learners into the discourse community of the target language.
Developing EFL learners generic competence is viewed as the
ultimate goal in the process of teaching and learning. This
monograph effectively demonstrates that like genre-based English
for Specific Purposes (ESP) pedagogies, it is also possible to take
advantage of already acquired genre knowledge for use in EFL
learning contexts. It offers an impressive view of the direction in
which genre-based applications are likely to take in the coming
years.
