- Title
Authenticity in Teaching ESP Genre-Based Writing – When Does It Work?
- Authors
Dvorácková, Veronika
- Abstract
In this respect, we were lucky to rely on the dual qualifications of one of our colleagues who is both a former NHS healthcare professional and a teacher of English as a second language and who not only managed to devise the lesson materials and successfully implement them in the course design but also came up with the idea in the first place. This was further confirmed in course feedback, where in response to an intentionally broad question concerned with possible redundant features of the course, the students often mentioned the letter of referral. Students write their second practice piece of reflective writing, this time out of class, choosing a topic from a list provided by the teacher. The students' immediate academic and pre-professional needs identified in the process could then be transformed into even more authentic ESP course content relevant to the students' concurrent medical school experience.
