This paper describes the pedagogical and learning experience of a change in the approach of the English for Academic Purposes course in the Psychology College of the University of Buenos Aires. As from 2019, we incorporated academic literacies (Lea and Street, 2006) to the genre-based approach. The pedagogy and didactics are also framed within the development of soft skills which contributes to critical reading and genre awareness. With these changes we intended to guide students to make their interaction with genres and situated critical reading visible and to give them agency in legitimate academic participation (Canagarajah, 2002).
