About this title

Synopsis

Genres are instances of social processes that shape people's sensibilities and represent ways of building meanings in a culture. This study demonstrates how genres build and enact social practices. Since educational settings provide contexts for genres to occur, the extensive discussions presented here are based on work and school scenarios. Contributors to the volume consider instances of both written and spoken genres, including an examination on how spoken classroom texts affect the teaching and learning of written genres. By constructing theories and potential practices, Genre and Institution addresses questions -- and offers solutions -- concerning the social construction of reality.
