Abstract

The objective of this research is to improve the writing abilities of students through a concentrated emphasis on discourse patterns, content, coherence, and language suitability. The conceptual framework of the process genre approach informed the design of the course. The framework outlines the developmental stages of learners, beginning with the acquisition and understanding of knowledge, followed by its analysis, and culminating in the application of knowledge in a creative manner. Furthermore, it provides precise directives for the implementation of said principles. An academic curriculum that is based on genre should include a comprehensive understanding of discourse genres and their intricate characteristics. Proficiency in language and expertise in the subject matter are necessary for teachers to effectively utilize genre analysis in the field of education. The results indicate that educators should underscore to pupils that the attainment of English language proficiency entails the cultivation of communicative proficiency in diverse settings, alongside the acquisition of reading and writing proficiencies.</jats:p>
