“…As the old Chinese saying goes, -delegate to fish, as delegate to fish‖. In the similar vein, cultivating genre awareness in an L2 learner is of greater importance than investing all time in any particular genre (Johns et al, 2006).…”

Abstract-The present study puts SFL-based genre approach under examination for its effectiveness in promoting EFL writers' genre awareness and writing competence in a 16-week semester in a state-run college in the east part of China. Three sets of data from pre-and post-test writings, interviews and questionnaires, are collected and analyzed with the help of the software SPSS and Range 32. The study indicates that the genre approach beats the traditional approach in sensitizing the writers' genre awareness, improving holistic writing quality and enhancing lexical density.

There are several indicators that distinguish an academic discipline, including journals, conferences, and graduate programs. One of them is the presence of academic publications in well-regarded citation indices such as Web of Science (WoS). This study explored the bibliometric characteristics of publications on "second language writing" (SLW) covered in the Social Sciences Citation Index and the Arts & Humanities Citation Index of WoS. We found that, while the first appeared in 1992 with a steady increase in recent years, there were a total of 266 SLW publications, mostly in the linguistics research area (92%), in the WoS between 1900 and 2013. The publications included articles, book reviews, and bibliographies written by 1.64 authors per publication, suggesting a low level of collaborations among SLW scholars. They cited 31.44 publications and received citations from 5.90 publications on average. An average SLW title had 2.49 different words and a total of 10.85 words, with an abstract of about five sentences and about six keywords and diverse topics including second language writing, writing, academic writing, error correction, and plagiarism. Our findings will be of value to second language writing scholars, graduate students, and practitioners for examining the status of their field.

“…Indeed, there have been different traditions which have interpreted and researched into genres. Sarcastically, Johns et al (2006) notes, "If genre scholars across disciplines share one point of agreement, it is the complexity of genres (p. 248)". According to Hyon (1996), three genre perspectives-Australian (or Sydney) School, North American New Rhetoric studies, and English for Specific Purposes-have been most productive in theorizing, researching, and offering pedagogical applications of genre theory.…”
