Genre analysis is an effective way for presenting specialized language in ESP classes; however, limited research was conducted on its implementations in Algerian universities. Drawing on teachers’ perspectives, this study aimed to elicit Algerian ESP practitioners’ cognition of genre analysis and its relevance to ESP instructions, as well as to explore their’ current practices to support learners’ genre awareness. Data obtained through an online questionnaire revealed that while the respondents recognized the alignment of genre-based instructions with the goals of ESP teaching, they admitted that this methodology is not regularly included in their classes. The paper suggests advocating a more discourse-oriented methodology to teaching ESP in Algerian universities rather than focusing on merely linguistic competence in a decontextualized way.
Résumé
L'analyse des genres constitue une approche efficace pour présenter la langue de spécialité dans les cours d'anglais pour des fins spécifiques (ESP). Cette étude visait à solliciter les opinions des enseignants sur cette méthodologie et leur pratiques actuelles pour sa mise en oeuvre dans les universités algériennes. Les données obtenues à travers un questionnaire en ligne ont révélé que, bien que les enseignants reconnaissent l‟alignement de cette approche avec les objectifs de l'enseignement d‟Anglais pour des fins spécifique, cette méthodologie n'est pas régulièrement intégrée. L'article suggère de préconiser une méthodologie plus axée sur l‟analyse de discours, plutôt que de se concentrer uniquement sur la compétence linguistique d‟une manière décontextualisée.
