Abstract:

"Language in Action: SFL Theory across Contexts" brings together recent
research in elementary and secondary education, higher education, and
translation studies, informed by Systemic Functional Linguistics. Authors
reporting from a range of international contexts offer new insights into
curriculum and instructional issues in subjects including history, physical
education, and mathematics, with a focus on development of students’ reading,
writing, and disciplinary literacy skills. The chapters also report on studies
in teacher education and student learning in settings where Spanish, Danish,
or English are the languages of instruction, and the development of advanced
academic writing in these languages is a particular focus of studies in higher
education. The translation studies offer new perspectives on translation from
classical Chinese literature and Italian museum texts. Across the volume, the
chapters present innovations in genre pedagogy, pedagogical and methodological
uses of SFL metalanguage, and approaches to curriculum development and
school-based research. The authors draw on functional grammar, register
theory, Appraisal, and Legitimation Code Theory to offer new analytic
approaches and insights. This book offers readers a range of work that can
inspire and inform researchers and students interested in new approaches to
systemic functional linguistics in action.
