Abstract:

Shortlisted for the M. A. K. Halliday Prize 2025
Beginning with a review of the theory and pedagogic practices that
have been influential in English for Academic Purposes (EAP) contexts,
this book examines the practice of joint construction in a genre-based
approach to literacy pedagogy. It investigates how teachers guide
students to co-construct a text, drawing attention to the contested
rationale for teachers taking a leading role when writing
collaboratively with their students.
Informed by systemic functional linguistics, the book puts forward an
accessible approach to the analysis of classroom discourse that
centres on the dynamic mediation of meaning. Through examples of
classroom interaction involving international students who are
studying EAP, and specifically as preparation for university entrance,
it illuminates how classroom metalanguage and the organisation of
classroom talk enables teachers to guide but not provide wording;
metalanguage also enables students to critique and justify their
choices as they 'try out' new academic language, modify and improve
their writing.
