La reseña de formación: propuesta de modelo analítico.

This research article is about a genre almost ignored by the researchers as the training book review. The purpose of the study is to analyse its rhetorical-linguistic structure using genre analysis in the spirit of Swalesian tradition. In this frame, this paper presents an empirical qualitative research, in which 96 Spanish training book reviews, produced by the population of students from the complete degree of Modern Languages, are analysed. In this corpus produced for the study, higher level communicative purposes (rhetorical moves) and lower level communicative purposes (steps and substeps) from these training book reviews are identified and analysed. This model is a useful tool to assess the progression of students in selecting and organising information and in the development of the description and the argumentation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
