A critical genre-based approach to ESP: Lecture design on English language teachers’ classroom discourse at tertiary level

Research output: Contribution to conferencePapers

Abstract

A threefold purpose is addressed in this article. Firstly, it introduces Critical Genre Analysis (CGA) as a multi-perspective framework. Through comparing and contrasting CGA and critical Eco-discourse analysis on the definition, focus, development, and how they work in ESP, it aims to propose CGA as an approach to English for Specific Purposes (ESP). Finally, a lecture design on a core course named English Language Teacher’s Classroom Discourse (ELTCD) would be provided as an example of adopting CGA among mainland Chinese undergraduate students, basing on a real Needs Analysis study conducted by the author with the pedagogical specification, guidelines, and implications given.
