The Gerne-based approaches

There are many different ways to use the genre-based approach, which are characterized to be abstract and socially recognized ways of using the language. We tend to follow rules or conventions when we write, in an attempt to keep organized the message we are trying to pass foward because we want to be understood.
The Genre can be broadly cathegorized in three different approaches:

Systematic Functional view is a genre that is staged, goal oriented social process that involves interaction of participants using language in a conventional, structure.

‘ESP’ perspectiveis a genre that comprises a class of communicative events linked by shared purpose recognized by the members of a particular community. These purposes are the rationale of the genre and help to shape the ways it is structured and the choices of content and style it makes available.
‘New Rhetoric’ view is a genre that gives less emphasis to the form of discourse and more to the action it is used to accomplish, seeking to establish the connections between genre and repeated situations and to identify the way in which genres are seen as recurrent rhetorical actions.
Genres can provide great resources for acomplishing things in all areas of life. We all have a repertoire of appropriate responses that we can use in different situations. Genre analysts have tried to elaborate many of these for better understanding and teaching of ESP.
