Alright, next I'm going to tell you about the history of GBA

2. History

In the 1980s Genre-Based(janra) Approach was developed by Australian theorist,Halliday. And it became
popular along with the notion that students could get benefits from stadying different types of written
texts. In essence, genre(janra) theory(tieri) is a theory of language use. The genre-basedwriting teaching
is actually developed on the basis of child language stadies undertaken within the systematic functional
model that shows how young children learn language and how, in particular they learn to develop texts.
(Halliday, 1975, Paiter, 1986, Oldenberg, 1987) These studies demonstrate that in the course of adult
care-takers and children interaction, adults are constantly modeling genres in their discourse with young
(yang) children. So we must find ways to introduce the strategies that familiar to students from their
experience of learning to talk. Usually in the course of learning, the adults and the children share the
same experience. (gee 2005)

And there are also two different approaches to English literacy teaching

The first one is

process approach to english literacy teaching

process approach to english literacy teaching which was popular at that time in australia was a kickstart
the new way in teaching english.

this approach underlined the

-natural learning it is believed that student could write without any formal instruction about writing
similar to learn speaking

-this approach also neglect the glamorous packs

-and only focus on the count narrative

And the second one is

Supporters of genre based approach

on the other hand the supporters of gba argued that

-the instructors or teachers have the responsibility to intervene in the learning process
the students should be supervised to get direct teaching on writing because skills is because writing skill
is not given but it has to be learned formally

-learning how to write is not the same as learning to speak

that can be done naturally without any specific teaching

- report, discussion, explanation, eksposition.

furthermore the genre theories over that student should learn other text types such as report tags
discussion and explanations to help the students during their full education final examination and
university placement
