[摘要] ENGLISH ABSTRACT:This study investigates the genre-theoretic analystic properties of social commentary textsin isiXhosa which are extracted from the Bona magazine. These five articles are genreswhich all just deal with social commentary issues.This study will first explore the broad genre-based theoretical approach to the investigationof the isiXhosa texts as social commentary texts. The genre-theoretic approach will beutilized as framework for discourse properties of the Xhosa texts and a review will be givenof the linguistic competence component of the more general theory of writing advanced byGrabe and Kaplan (1996). It will be argued that the theory of Grabe and Kaplan (1996) issuitable as a framework for teaching writing, because it incorporates the ethnography ofwriting which entails that a detailed analysis of texts should address the followingquestions: who writes what to whom for what purpose, why and how.In terms of the parameter write which is examined extensively in this study the aspects oftext analysis examined include topic structuring, coherence, text cohesion, lexical choicesas a reflection of communicative purpose as well as cognitive move structure or structuraldescription which is discussed in Bhatia (1993). These text-linguistic properties of thegenre-theoretic approach will be investigated invoking Grabe and Kaplan's model of textconstruction.Finally, this study will also explore the relationship between the ethnography of writing,learning outcomes 3, 4 and 5 of Grade 9 and their related assessment standards inCurriculum 2005. The study explores questions of how Grabe and Kaplan's model can beeffectively employed in the analysis of texts in language teaching in Curriculum 2005.
