Genrepædagogik i engelsk på læreruddannelsen

This article argues that a functional approach to teaching English as
a foreign language at Metropolitan University College has been
beneficial for the students. When they enroll it would seem that quite
a few of them have limited metalanguage and knowledge of so-called
traditional grammar. As a consequence, language processes, language
and language use, and culture, systemic functional linguistics
(SFL), and genre pedagogy now play a prominent role in the three
compulsory modules. The article provides concrete examples of
activities.
