1. Textual Studies
 Textual Studies
Showing how language works as resurces
for accomplishing goals by describing the
stages which help writers to set out their
thoughts in ways readers can easily
follow, and identifying features of texts.

Allow them to engage effectively with

their readers.
 Textual Studies
An approach that assumes that texts are
always a response to a particular
communicative setting and which attempts
to reveal the purposes and functions
which linguistics forms serves in texts.
How?
By looking beyond and beneath the
surface structures of texts as
products to understand how writing
actually works as communication.

 Contextual Studies
Treating texts for discursive
realities of the professional
world.

Students are able to handle the forms

of professional genres when they go
out to work.
 Contextual Studies

This approach infuses text

analysis with greater validity and
offer richer understandings
about the production and use of
genres in professional contexts.

Attempts to show that discourses

of the academy and the workplace

knowledge, social relations, and
institutions.

Treating the text as common,

acceptable, and natural features
of discourse.
