This handbook is organised in two sections. Part I: Guidelines for reacting to texts and writing and summary response provides theoretical background and guidelines for students to enhance their academic literacy by developing some of the critical thinking, reading and writing skills necessary to succeed in this course. Part II: Genre-based materials provides practical activities based on the cycle of teaching and learning: building the social context, modelling, joint construction, independent construction and linking related texts (Feez, 1998 in Hyland, 2007). These activities have been designed for English Language IV students. This class will complete two syllabus units during the first term: Media Studies and Educational Issues, which will provide the basis for work on the genre summary response.
