Question

Rose, D. & Martin, J. (2012) have contributed to what is known as a genre approach to literacy development. According to them, genres are generic categories of written forms. The term is commonly used in literary circles to refer to the major genres of poetry, prose and drama. In relation to literacy studies, genres are broadened substantially, so as to include such generic forms as narratives, descriptions, information reports and procedural texts. According to the authors, it is CORRECT to point that:

Accepted Answer

A) A genre approach recognizes that individuals progressively learn different forms of writing (e.g. stories, letters,
recipes, etc) over time; each form of writing reflects particular language convention and purposes; each form/
genre helps us achieve different social and learning practices; as a result, there is no “single” literacy but a
progressive literacy; and each “text” involves three plans: field (the content of the message); mode (the form
used to convey that message); and tenor (the way the message is conveyed to achieve an aim with an audience).

audience).
