Genre-based approach is the pedagogy based on genre theory. It is the empirical application of the study of genre, which is popular in North America and Australia. Using scoping review methodology, this paper aims to elaborate the pedagogy by providing an overview of the contexts, theoretical basis, several teaching models of genre-based approach, and evaluation of genre-based approach. The findings highlight that learners can gain a range of benefits in genre teaching classroom like cognitive development, improvement of genre awareness, specific knowledge and skills of writing, while genre-based approach poses challenges to teachers, learners, and teaching materials. Therefore, teachers should enhance their knowledge and skills to choose and decide suitable teaching materials and to help learners gain language and content knowledge while using genre-based approach.
