%X with the demise of formalism in linguistics, education of mother tongue and foreign language needs revising. formal trends fall short of the two major challenges in education today: making students fit to operate in a multilingual world and making them proficient for using language -both l1 and l2- in society, that is, having a full grasp of academic and professional genres. this article makes an actual proposal of curriculum innovation that takes genres -with a nod to the systemic functional theory behind it- as the ultimate unit in language programming and that is being embraced in some parts of europe under the label: 'integrated language curriculum'. a historical review, a cognitive account based on language information processing, and some structure for classroom implementation are also considered.
