Overview
This unit will explore the relationship between language, context and teaching through the use of Systemic Functional Linguistics. In particular, the unit will examine the functions of language used in teaching resources and explore the grammatical resources that help shape language meanings. You will engage with approaches and models of language use and participate in hands-on activities in text selection and analysis. Through the unit, you will be able to describe, analyse and interpret language functions in a variety of different contexts, which will inform your teaching and learning practices. Equipped with an understanding of linguistics (from the word to text level) and skills in text analysis, in this unit you will be able to design lessons and teaching resources that allow for learning through language and justify your pedagogical decision making.
