Learning Outcomes
1.Identify and explain the purpose, schematic structure, and key linguistic features of major school-relevant genres (fictional narratives, procedures, arguments, recounts, reports, and explanations).
2.Analyze model texts using genre-specific rubrics to evaluate how effectively they realize genre purposes in terms of field, tenor, and mode.
3.Produce well-structured written texts in multiple genres, demonstrating control over genre-specific organization and appropriate language features.
4.Apply genre-based evaluation criteria to peer texts, providing constructive, rubric-informed feedback to support writing development.
5.Develop pedagogical content knowledge for teaching writing, by designing and delivering micro-teaching lessons based on genre-specific instructional sequences.
6.Collaborate in expert groups to present genre knowledge, including preparing instructional materials (e.g., handouts, activities) that facilitate peer learning and comprehension.
7.Critically evaluate and revise AI-generated texts in relation to genre conventions, learner needs, and curriculum objectives.
8.Integrate genre knowledge with curriculum awareness, by designing AI-supported reading materials aligned with national English curriculum themes and outcomes.
