Abstract

In the last decade, pedagogical proposals for language teaching that aimed at
developing the students’ literacy have raised an important question regarding the elaboration of language teaching plans concerning the role of grammar. How should we treat the relationship grammar-text in this new perspective? The aim of this paper is to propose a way of integrating text and grammar in an English course plan for Information Technology (IT) students which gives priority to the reading ability. We have based our proposal on concepts from English for Specific Purpose (ESP) by focusing on reading and also on literacy and text gender studies.
