摘要

Abstract

This paper presents a pedagogical framework for integrating language awareness development into genre-based writing instruction for intermediate EFL learners in university. Using an authentic online restaurant review as a model text

the study demonstrates how explicit analysis of genre

schematic structure

and interpersonal meaning can scaffold learners' understanding and production of evaluative language

with a specific focus on adverb-adjective collocations. The proposed three-stage teaching cycle—Modelling

Joint Construction

and Independent Construction—highlights a process from analytical deconstruction to independent written production. Findings suggest that this approach enables learners to notice salient linguistic features within a meaningful communicative context

thereby enhancing both their metalinguistic awareness and their ability to write effective evaluative texts.
