La enseñanza basada en el género en inglés con propósitos específicos:una revisión sistemática

This research aimed at describing the state of the art of genre-based teaching pedagogy in ESP. Authors performed a systematic review by using specialized databases and reviews by hand in well-known journals in the context of applied linguistics and language teaching. The material was reviewed by two independent researchers to identify the categories for analysis. Forty articles were analyzed. Resulting categories included methodological trends, genre schools, skills and gender, among other. Genre based methodology seems to be good in the English for Specific Purposes (ESP) context, mainly for reading and writing. There exists a set of variables (for instance, gender, age and language proficiency) that need to be further studied due to their pedagogical implications.
