He has extensive experience of teaching at undergraduate and postgraduate levels over a period exceeding 50 years in various universities. He has supervised more than 50 research dissertations, including PhD, M Phil. and MA dissertations in areas as diverse as Applied Linguistics, Teaching of English, Professional Communication, Discourse and Genre Analysis, Law and language, Advertising, Acquisition of Professional Competence in the Workplace, Crosscultural and Intercultural Discourses. Professor Bhatia publishes widely in areas of Genre Analysis of Academic and Professional Discourses, English for Specific Purposes (ESP) and Professional Communication, Simplification of Legal and Other Public documents. In this interview, Bhatia reflects on ESP and Critical Genre Theory. He touches on subjects such as how he became interested in Language for Specific Purposes and genre analysis in the professional context; major developments in genre analysis; how his framework, "Critical Genre Analysis" differs from traditional genre theories; key changes genre researchers need to consider when performing genre analysis in the digital era; and academic publishing advice for novice academics.
