The Powers of Literacy: A Genre Approach to Teaching Writing

£12.99

About this item

This book presents an original theory and practice for the genre teaching of literacy. The genre approach involves teaching grammar and text form explicitly again, concentrating on content, structure and sequence in the process of becoming literate. This new approach avoids the formalisation of traditional grammar, by linking different text forms to the different social purposes of texts. This volume presents this innovative approach to teaching with contributions from the key theorists and practitioners in the genre literacy movement.

There is some bumping of the cover corners and a few indentation marks. There is some bending to the top right corner of the first 4 pages.The top edges of closed pages have a few small brown marks. Inner pages are clean.
