Abstract:
Many of such studies have tended to focus on contexts involving applied linguistics training programs. The researcher investigated this issue by following six L2 English students as they learned to write a professional legal genre called the office memorandum as a part of their legal education program. Findings show that despite receiving the same classroom input, the students’ acquisition of genre knowledge was non-linear, with some learners’ developmental trajectories differing substantially both in terms of their reported awareness of the genre and how they reported using that awareness when writing. These findings are discussed in relation to future research and classroom pedagogy.
