Abstract

The research aims to describe the model of the master class as a core genre of engineering and didactic discourse for children and adolescents. Texts in the professional field of engineering didactics rarely come into focus for researchers due to the closed systems in which they exist. This presents a challenge for studying their genre specificity and discursive features. The scientific novelty lies in introducing into scientific use new textual material, i.e. the master class notes of the International Children’s School of Engineering Robotics, considering the genre nature of the master class from the linguistic and discursive perspective. As a result of the analysis, we were able to describe the genre of master class in engineering didactic discourse based on T. V. Shmеleva’s proposed model. We identified the discursive conditioning of the genre-forming elements of the master class, such as communicative goal, author and addressee image, factor of the past and future communicative image, key and peripheral events of dictum, compositional structure, linguistic embodiment of the genre. The double communicative goal, the poly-addressing of the genre and the unstable compositional structure were identified as the specific features of the hybrid genre and discourse.
