Abstract

This article presents the analysis of prototypical texts from the genre of technical wine tasting. The study described in this text is part of a Research-Action project titled "Teaching Spanish in a Technological Context: A Methodological Reflection Guided by the LSF Genre Pedagogy." Its purpose is to reflect on the teaching and learning of Spanish as a Foreign Language (E/LE) at a Federal Institute and to produce educational materials guided by systemic Genre Pedagogy for this context. During the implementation phase of this research, it was necessary to describe this genre in order to plan pedagogical tasks. To achieve this, theoretical and analytical principles from two semantic-discursive systems were mobilized: Periodicity and Ideation (Martin and Rose, 2007/2008; Martin, 1992; Rose and Martin, 2018). In this regard, six textual instances were linguistically and discursively analyzed to identify the realization of their schematic structure, i.e., their stages and constituent phases. The results confirmed that the purpose of technical wine tastings is to evaluate and that this social practice consists of five stages (contextualization, product description, evaluation, harmonization, and farewell) and nine possible phases. These data are essential for creating educational materials that effectively support the teaching of E/LE in technological environments.
