The genre approach to writing has been criticized by some hard-line advocates of the process movement as it focuses on the ‘products’ rather than the ‘processes’ of writing. Instead, they emphasize practices such as planning, self-reflection and revision of drafts. In response to these criticisms, many practitioners argue that ‘form’ cannot be dissociated from content, and they propose a more sophisticated notion of ‘form’ as one which comprises macrostructures and moves of texts that reflect the conventions of a discourse community. The objective of this paper is to demonstrate how the product and process approaches can be combined and further enhanced by incorporating team teaching in university programmes that focus on writing in subject-specific academic genres. This three-dimensional approach of product, process and team teaching - which involves the cooperation of the subject specialists, language experts and the students - will be explored in this paper. This unique approach will be demonstrated with specific reference to the technical communication course in the Singapore Stanford Partnership (SSP) Programme joint collaboration between Nanyang Technological University in Singapore and Stanford University.
