-book approach to teaching writing, theyhave the distinct advantage of being goal focused, which helps in convincing reluctantengineering students to put in the effort to improve. Universities as diverse as M.I.T.(Paradis and Zimmerman, 2002) and Curtin University in Australia (Grellier and Goerke,2010) have developed Writing Style Guides with a clear dependence on a genre-basedapproach to teaching communication skills. Grellier and Goerke (2010) go so far as to usethe metaphor of a tool as a way to emphasise how engineers will use unique document typesfor specific purposes. Contextual learning, and hence genre-oriented teaching of writing, isparticularly important for engineering students because they are characteristically practical-oriented
