Abstract:

Note: This is the paperback edition of a previously announced book.

'Scientific Discourse' examines the nature of scientific inquiry in the
primary school classroom to show how this interacts with early literacy.
Through an examination of the texts used and produced by pupils studying
science the author shows how what is at work in this context of scientific
discourse is actually multiliteracy. The teacher aids the pupils' learning
using different forms of literacy spread across the spoken word, written
text, visual text and physical action. The result of this diverse approach
is a growth not only in scientific knowledge, but basic literacy.

The book provides a theoretical introduction to developmental literacy
theory, current positions of science education and advanced theories of
multiliteracy and genre theory. The new theory of scientific discourse
presented in this book will be of interest to researchers of applied
linguistics, discourse analysis and education.
