One of the distinguishing features of advanced-level L2 learners is that they can “direct their writing to specific audiences, and they demonstrate an ability to alter style, tone, and format according to the specific requirements of the discourse” (American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages, 2001, p. 2) and use “language flexibly and effectively for social purposes, including emotio...

Genre classification means to discriminate between documents by means of their form, their style, or their targeted audience. Put another way, genre classification is orthogonal to a classification based on the documents’ contents. While most of the existing investigations of an automated genre classification are based on news articles corpora, the idea here is applied to arbitrary Web pages. W...

This paper describes a new approach to defining genre. A model is presented that defines genre based on likability ratings rather than features of the content itself. By collecting hundreds of thousands of likability ratings, and incorporating these into a topic model, one can create genre categories that are interesting and intuitively plausible. Moreover, we give evidence that likability-base...

Likewise, researchers have, to date, mainly focused on either of these treatments to enhance language learners’ composing ability.
