Texto associado. Question must be answered based on the following text.
Genre based teaching sees text as discourse, or as the way we use language to communicate, to achieve purposes in particular situations. It is anchored on the idea that one needs to understand and use language to achieve social purposes in a given context. [...] Teaching learners to recognize, analyze and produce written genres will help them participate in academic, occupational and social context in the real world. A genre-based approach to the teaching of writing should focus on identifying how texts work as communication, regarding forms of language as located in social action. This focus on language forms does not imply a focus on grammar, which is detached from meaning and use, but knowledge of grammar that would allow learners to manipulate language in an effective way.

practices below that best reflects the principles: “texts work as communication” and “language forms are

moves. ✂️ d) Guiding students to compare the structure of emails in professional vs. academic settings to understand
how purpose shapes language choices.
