Ann M. Johns’ “Discourse Communities and Communities of Practice” talks about the general idea of discourse communities and what that means. She explains that the meaning behind these communities is having an idea of language as a basis for sharing and holding common shared expectations, participation, and common ways of expressing. People within these communities have either a common goal or love to do the same things together. Whatever that may be, it does not necessarily have to be a club that you have to join. You are just in the community by common experiences. These people may also give common feedback to each other for the benefit of everyone. It can teach people teamwork and discipline.
