An Overview

 What is the most important or most useful thing you’ve learned about who you are as a reader, as a writer, and as astudent?  What kinds of connections can you make to the readings and writing you’ve done in the past? What connections can you see between the readings?  Text-to-self  Text-to-world  Text-to-text

 What are the six defining characteristics that Swale’s uses to identify a Discourse Community?

 “A discourse community has a broadly agreed set of common public goals” (471).

 “A discourse community has mechanisms of intercommunication among its members” (471).

 “A discourse community uses its participatory mechanisms primarily to provide information and feedback” (472).

 “A discourse community utilizes and hence possesses one or more genres in the communicative furtherance of its aims” (472).

 “In addition to owning genres, a discourse community has acquired some specific lexis” (473).

 “A discourse community has a threshold level of members with a suitable degree of relevant content and discoursal expertise” (473).

 Swales argues that it is possible to participate in a discourse community without being fully assimilated to it. What does this mean?

 Consider a time when you participated in a discourse community but resisted it or were not assimilated into it. What happened?

 Do you understand your own reading and writing experiences differently now that you’ve read Swales’ description of how discourse communities work?  How can this understanding help you navigate new discourse communities in the future?
