genre&grammar
 
Hi teachers,
 
Here in Brazil is starting a new methodology , it �s named genre, discursive genre. The teachers have to teach to students the differents kinds of discurse: recipes, letters,complaint letters,  emails, messages, curriculum vitae, news, informative text, comics, HQ, dialogues, fairy tales,fable, comic strips and so on.
Each one has a particular caracteristic , the discursive aspects are different and the aim is show these differences to the students because they need learning several   discursive genre, whereas here in esl site is commmon records of downloads of grammar ws. Then I would like to know how is the world teaching style. This is the reason I sent this question to some members from different countries.  I would like other opinions. Can you comment about this, please?
 
Hugs,
Rosangella

Hi,

You can find all of that here, but it is not all going to be on the Recent Contributions page. In other words, you will have to search and use your points to get it. If you send me a pm, I can help you with ones that are for intermediate and advanced students, but please ask the other members as well.

I know advertising you own WS is frowned upon, so dont take this as advertising, plz! :)
I uploaded some time ago a WS on how to write a comparative commentary, you can find there some links that might help you find info. As well as a chart to compare/analyze txts from different points of view.
the comp comm is part of the IB program
As regards teaching how to analyze...well I find it quite hard, esp cause my stds are not used to doing it in their mother tongue. However, once they �ve done it enough its easier

Well, if you dont have points pm me and I �ll send you the WS "for free" LOL :D

I believe the discursive genre begins with Vygostky and Bakthin. Try searching "An�lise critica do discurso" in google scholar and you may get some academic articles on the theme. I think this new approach is unknown to many of us. There is some bibliography that may be useful:
