Abstract	Due to the rise of World Englishes, one of the principal challenges of teachers of English today is to keep paced with language variation (Crystal, 2013). Such variation influences their choices on the variety of English in instructional texts that they use in teaching ESL/EFL academic writing. Grounded in Systemic Functional Linguistics, this study compared the textual resources in academic texts in Philippine English vis-à-vis that of American English. Results showed that academic texts in the two English varieties contain textual resources: theme and rheme, nominalization, and cohesion. Each of these aspects of textual metafunction is discussed in the paper. It can be concluded that PhE texts written by Filipinos are at par with the quality of AmE texts produced by Americans. Pedagogical implications are underscored in the conclusion of the study. (As Provided).
