Abstract
In Sweden, genre pedagogy is repeatedly put forward as influential. However, there is little research on how it is understood and applied in practice. This article is an attempt to get to grips with how genre pedagogy has been recontextualised in the Swedish school context. This is done by discourse analyses of curriculum and syllabuses, a professional development programme on literacy and teacher guides claiming to draw on genre pedagogy. We conclude that the recontextualisation of genre pedagogy is a simplification, primarily focusing on the pedagogical know-how through a student-centred application of the Teaching and Learning Cycle, while knowledge about language and the underlying ideology aiming at redistributing educational capital is downplayed or absent.
