Abstract

There is no doubt about the relevance of the concept of genre both in the theoretical and applied fields since it facilitates the teaching-learning process of English for specific purposes in higher education. The Language Institute (Instituto de Lenguas) of the Faculty of Humanities (Facultad de Ciencias Humanas) of the Universidad Nacional de  San Luis is carrying out a Teaching English Project addressed to all members of the university community (students, teachers, researchers, etc), whose main purpose is to  develop written and oral abilities to promote the integration of beneficiaries into the international academic-research setting, through research publications, internships abroad and participation in research events. This study presents a teaching proposal focused on the progressive development of the written production of academic scientific genres, taking as a central axis the building of identity, seen as a socialization process.
