Abstract

The actual classroom implementation and the possible final outcomes of the genrebased approach to WRITING INSTRUCTION have not been fully explored yet. The present quasi-experimental study investigated the effects of GENRE-BASED INSTRUCTION on qualitative and quantitative aspects of a group of EFL learners' writing performance on a letter-writing task. 140 EFL learners (26 male and 114 female) studying English for a BA degree at two major universities in Iran participated in the study. Half of the learners (the experimental group, n=70) were taught how to write a letter of application through a genre-based technique involving the presentation of the GENRE MOVEs of JOB APPLICATION LETTERS. The rest of the participants did not take this treatment. Indices such as the number of words written per application, the amount of time spent, and EFL teachers' evaluations of writing quality were used to compare the performance of the experimental and the control group. The results of data analyses and mean comparisons revealed highly significant changes in the quality of writing as a result of GENRE-BASED INSTRUCTION. The quantitative aspects, however, were not significantly affected by the instruction. Based on the results of the study and the review of the related literature, major merits and demerits of the GBI approach are discussed. The results support and offer guidelines for the application of the findings of genre studies in EFL writing classes.
