The article proposes that these three theoretical perspectives are compatible and complementary, and it illustrates applications of a unified framework to a study of genre learning by novice engineers. The author draws examples from a longitudinal qualitative study of a group of novice engineers who developed their professional genre knowledge through both academic and workplace experiences. These examples illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework for the study of professional genre learning. }, keywords = {activity theory, engineering communication, genre, situated learning}, author = {Artemeva, Natasha} } @article {597, title = {Awareness Versus Production: Probing Students{\textquoteright} Antecedent Genre Knowledge}, journal = {Journal of Business \& Technical Communication}, volume = {24}, year = {2010}, month = {2010}, pages = {476{\textendash}515}, abstract = {This article explores the role of students{\textquoteright} prior, or antecedent, genreknowledge in relation to their developing disciplinary genre competence by drawing on an illustrative example of an engineering genre-competence assessment.

Genre Studies around the Globe: Beyond the Three Traditions exemplifies rich and vibrant international scholarship in the area of non-literary genre studies in the early 21st century. Based on the "Genre 2012" conference held in Ottawa, Canada, the volume brings under one cover the three Anglophone traditions (English for Specific Purposes, the Sydney School, Rhetorical Genre Studies) and the approaches to genre studies developed in other national, linguistic, and cultural contexts (Brazilian, Chilean, and European). The volume contributors investigate a variety of genres, ranging from written to spoken to multimodal, and discuss issues, central to the field of genre studies: genre conceptualization in different traditions, its theoretical underpinnings, the goals of genre research, and pedagogical implications of genre studies. This collection is addressed to researchers, teachers, and students of genre who wish to familiarize themselves with current international developments in genre studies.
