Abstract:

This book addresses Mohan’s (1986) concept of a social practice, an
educational activity that can be considered as action in a frame of
meaning, or a “knowledge framework” (KF). The KF, grounded in systemic
functional linguistics, is a heuristic that provides both a
theoretical framework for researching the language of social practices
and a springboard for organizing lessons that can help teachers bring
explicit language development into content teaching. This volume
brings together the latest research on using Mohan’s SFL-based theory
at institutions of higher learning.<br><br>
One outcome of this book is to show how a functional approach to
language research can be a major tool for research in the experiential
tradition of John Dewey who, as a pragmatist, regarded knowledge
functionally “as arising from an active adaptation of the human
organism to its environment” (www.iep.utm.edu/dewey). Another outcome
is to illustrate the complexity of the role activities play in
education.<br><br>
This is the first book to examine the linguistic demands of the
activities that occur in higher education. It provides empirically
grounded examples of how Mohan’s work is being implemented in
universities worldwide. It thus adds to conversations addressing the
use of educational activities to teach and describe disciplinary
literacy and the integrated development of language and content.
