Genre studies of academic discourse : some implications for teaching EAP and EST

Abstract EN

This study presents the theoretical foundations and some case studies of EAP / EST discourse for implementing a Master programme course in applied language studies at the department of English-Constantine University.

A theoretical framework and some practical implications of case studies in the academic fields provide the construction of a generic framework with an illustration of EST and EAP features.

The practical analysis is organised in tutorials where students apply discourse and genre techniques to sample texts.
