What and Why Genre Based Approach – A Practical Look
June 27, it was one of the boldest thing RELO Assistant Kun Herrini did. Giving a talk to about 100 tudents of the Tarbiyah Faculty, Universitas Islam Negeri (UIN) Bandung. Kun was lucky to be accompanied by Itje Chodidjah, MA, an prominent ELT Consultant and Resource Person. They teamed up trying to bring the hot topic for the season: Genre Based Approach – down to earth, to be accessible for the students.
Started with a survey question of what they already knew about GBA, no one answered. The lecturers (5 of them), also said they did not know what it was and that was one of the reasons why holding the seminar. The team went on, using different terms and situations and examples from around the students life.
Kun and Itje witnessed how their eyes went from blank, confused, light up, and finally twinkling, together with the breaking of wide smile on their faces. The hard work or reading so many books, the internet surfing and sleepless nights in preparing was paid.
When finally they stepped down from the stage, Ibu Emy, a Ph.D from Melbourne (her desertation was about Genre Based Approach) who happened to be a lecturer in UPI and was the next speaker, greeted us and said that she never thought GBA could be explained in such simple and humble words, very close to our life.

Bu Kun, I am student of Graduate Program in Sanata Dharma University. I attent many of your presentation in any seminar there, "blink-blink', TEYL as such. I also the secretary of MGMP Bahasa Inggris kab Sleman. I am interested in your topic, can you share your ideas with our MGMP Kab Sleman? We are not lucky to get any training about GBA. SMA is always ignored by government, SMK is already gaining attention. So many teachers are still confused and know less about it. So can I contact your institution to handle such kind of training or seminar on that matter? thank for your time
Bu kun, I am the graduate student of Sanata Dharma University. My name is Panca Wasono. I attended your presentation in TEYL with pak Mukarto. It seem that "genre" has already spread out around us. but many teachers still don't want or may confuse about that. Can you share your experience with my team in MGMP Bahasa Inggris SMA Kab Sleman? The attention from regency was so less. SMA teachers did get any training about that, luckily I attend the graduate program in Sadhar, but so many teachers didnot as lucky as I am. So can I contact your institution to handle a kind of seminar in Sleman Regency? Thank you so much.
