장르 기반 교수법(Genre-based teaching approach)에 근거한 학술논문 쓰기교육 방안

Genre-based teaching approach for education of academic writing

The needs for Korean for academic purpose(KAP) are largely arising. In particular, writing of academic theses is commonly mentioned as one of the most difficult task by KAP learners. Academic theses demand both highly complicated competence and rigidly-regulated academic literacy competence in its production. Accordingly, KAP learners are required to acquire academic thesis text genre-dependent characteristics. Despite these internal(textual) and external needs for exploring linguistic characteristics, academic thesis text genre has not been deeply analysed from text genre perspective enough to be suggested as guidelines for KAP. This study, therefore, examines how textual phenomenon appears specifically in the text purpose-stated discourse(TPSD) in academic theses. Furthermore, it is meant to suggest various learning activities from text genre-based perspective which was established by Callaghan and Rothery(1988). TPSD can be defined as discourse which is related to the text producer's own intention towards the whole text. In the academic thesis genre, unlike other text genres, TPSD appears both in introduction and in conclusion. Text genre-based perspective which can be acquired by text genre-based learning activities would encourage KAP learners to consider communication circumstances around academic theses and would help KAP learners eventually to produce appropriate TPSD for academic literacy.
