Abstract

This study presents the theoretical foundations and some case studies of EAP/EST discourse for implementing a Master programme course in applied language studies at the department of English-Constantine University. A theoretical framework and some practical implications of case studies in the academic fields provide the construction of a generic framework with an illustration of EST and EAP features. The practical analysis is organised in tutorials where students apply discourse and genre techniques to sample texts.

 Keywords:  Discourse and genre analysis, academic and scientific topic types, text and meta-text features.
