‘The genre-based pedagogy known as the Teaching Learning Cycle was originally developed by Sydney School genre theorists working with primary and secondary teachers in the Metropolitan East Region of Sydney’s disadvantaged Schools Program [DSP] (Callaghan & Rothery, 1988; Derewianka, 1990) and adapted for adult second language learners by TESOL teachers in the NSW Adult Migrant Education Program [AMEP] (Feez, 1998).’
