Genre Pedagogy To Lead Students’ To A High Stake Of Learning: Students’ Voice And Critical Thinking About Environment Issues Through News Item Writing
Abstract :
Genre pedagogies have drawn on Systemic Functional Linguistic theory, which views language as a social semiotic system, i.e. a resource for making meaning in social context (Eggins & Martin 2002). It is the idea that the grammar of the English Language is a system to facilitate certain kinds of social and interpersonal interaction, represent ideas about the world and connect these ideas and interaction into meaningful text and make them relevant to their context (Halliday, 1978:12). This paper aims to describe ways in which appropriate scaffolding teaching and learning activities in genre pedagogy can be provided to guide the students to shape their ideas critically to the issues of environment in their writing. The scaffolding takes the form of a particular sequence of activities known as teaching and learning cycle which are Building Knowledge of The field, Modeling of the Text, Join construction and Independent Construction.

Social Media: A Workshop
As EFL professionals in Japan we are faced with an increasingly uncertain job market. There is a need for us to be prepared to compete in that market throughout our careers. Fortunately, social media and a greater awareness amongst employers of its importance, gives us the ability to effectively brand ourselves. This workshop will give attendees the opportunity to learn how to build an online presence and to increase their existing professional network. Those planning to attend should come prepared to actively participate with ideas and anecdotes.
