This book develops a theoretical account of genre competence in IELTS Academic Writing Task 1. Drawing on genre theory, writing assessment, multimodality, and official task materials, it examines how writers interpret visual information, select and generalise key features, organise relations, and realise meanings in connected English. The proposed framework comprises three domains-Genre Situational Awareness, Genre Meaning Construction, and Genre Textual Realisation-and eleven related attributes. By treating statistical displays, process diagrams, maps, and combined visuals as members of a genre system, the book provides a framework for describing their shared reporting requirements and task-family-specific variations.
