In this session, I will discuss the rationale for using real-life genres in beginning language classes as a way to move beyond the textbook for reading and beyond the five-paragraph essay or “what I did on the weekend” type assignments for writing. I will also show how to focus on the organization and language of specific genres and how to scaffold students through understanding and writing real-life genres. All of the examples will be suited to lower-levels.
