Academic discourse is the gateway not only to educational success but to worlds of imagination, discovery and accumulated wisdom. Understanding the nature of academic discourse and developing ways of helping everyone access, shape and change this knowledge is critical to supporting social justice. Yet education research often ignores the forms taken by knowledge and the language through which they are expressed. This volume comprises cutting-edge work that is bringing together sociological and linguistic approaches to access academic discourse. Systemic functional linguistics (SFL) is a long-established and widely known approach to understanding language. Legitimation Code Theory (LCT) is a younger and rapidly growing approach to exploring and shaping knowledge practices. Now evermore research and practice are using these approaches together. This volume presents new advances from this inter-disciplinary dialogue, focusing on state-of-the-art work in SFL provoked by its productive dialogue with LCT. It showcases work by the leading lights of both approaches, including the foremost scholar of SFL and the creator of LCT. Chapters introduce key ideas from LCT, new conceptual developments in SFL, studies using both approaches, and guidelines for shaping curriculum and pedagogy to support access to academic discourse in classrooms. The book is essential reading for all appliable and educational linguists, as well as scholars and practitioners of education and sociology.

Monografie se věnuje anglickému odbornému diskursu a zaměřuje se na několik jeho zásadních rysů. Ačkoli probírá celou řadu dílčích témat, kniha se zabývá především třemi standardy textuality, a sice intertextualitou, koherencí a informativitou. V publikaci se všechny tyto standardy protínají v globálním tématu, které je zde jedinečně uchopeno jako soubor relevantních rysů – je ztvárněno v titulech, v klíčových slovech a jejich výskytu v samotném textu a rozvíjí se v jednotlivých odborných subžánrech, tématech odstavců a dále se prohlubuje zahrnutím relevantních citací. Tato monografie se věnuje výhradně psanému odbornému diskursu. Soustavně vychází z analýzy autentických dat diskursu humanitních věd. Publikaci profilují především stylistické, textově-lingvistické a diskursní analýzy, které čerpají z celé škály relevantních teorií včetně aktuálního členění větného, čímž nepřímo ověřují jejich nosnost. Všechny kapitoly předkládají kvantitativní i kvalitativní analýzu dat, mezi těmito pohledy usilují o rovnováhu a pokoušejí se vždy o funkční interpretaci zjištění. Z epistemologického hlediska jsou všechny studie zahrnuté do této publikace pevně spjaty s funkčně strukturalistickou tradicí Pražské školy, která je přirozeně obohacena o moderní přístupy ze světové lingvistiky. This monograph deals with English academic discourse and focuses on some of its constitutive features. Although a variety of particular topics are addressed, the volume is largely centred on three standards of textuality, namely intertextuality, coherence, and informativity. In this book, all these standards meet in the Global Theme, which is grasped here uniquely as a cluster of relevant features – embodied by the titles, lists of keywords and their in-text use, and further developed through diverse academic subgenres, through paragraph themes and enhanced by integrating relevant citations. This monograph explores written academic discourse exclusively. It is firmly established on the systematic investigation of authentic data drawn from the discourse of the humanities. The book profiles stylistic, text linguistic and discourse analyses, employing a range of relevant theories, including the Functional Sentence Perspective, and thus indirectly verifying their viability. All the chapters provide quantitative as well as qualitative analyses of data, striving to achieve an appropriate balance and to interpret the findings functionally. From the epistemological viewpoint, all of the studies involved in the monograph are rooted in the Prague functionalist tradition, naturally enriched by modern approaches from world linguistics.

This book explores Filipino, the national language of the Philippines, from the perspectives of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and Positive Discourse Analysis (PDA)—informed by Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL). It is designed to encourage researchers to study Filipino texts—both spoken and written—and to unpack them in a way that clarifies their function in Philippine society. With this goal in mind, the book introduces a number of discourse analysis tools and shows how to apply them to a range of Filipino texts—including a children's picture book story, some mental health advice about coping with COVID-19, President Duterte's speech about the Philippine government's initial response to the COVID-19 pandemic, a comment piece from a student newspaper about problems with online learning modules produced by the Department of Education, and a reflective text about growing up in Davao. This is the first book to draw on a range of functional linguistic tools to analyse Filipino discourse in order to provide deeper insights into the role of language in bilingual education, the linguistic enactment of power, and the importance of thinking across languages when analysing texts. Key issues addressed include the complementarity of CDA and PDA, SFL's model of social context (as register and genre), analysing bilingual texts and bilingual education. The book fosters appliable linguistics as a dialectic of theory, description, and practice—supporting Filipino discourse analysts as they engage with the challenge of giving people access to a range of tools they can use productively to mean and thereby more successfully pursue their social goals. As such, it provides a model for researchers of other languages of how to encourage the analysis of meaning in texts within and beyond the clause. It is relevant to scholars across the spectrum of linguistics, particularly those working in Systemic Functional Linguistics.

This collection of essays traces the attempts of one writing teacher to understand theoretically - and to respond pedagogically - to what happens when students from diverse backgrounds learn to use language in college.Bizzell begins from the assumption that democratic education requires us to attempt to educate all students, including those whose social or ethnic backgrounds may have offered them little experience with academic discourse. Over the ten-year period chronicled in these essays, she has seen herself primarily as an advocate for such students, sometimes called "basic writers."Bizzell's views on education for "critical consciousness," widely discussed in the writing field, are represented in most of the essays in this volume. But in the last few chapters, and in the intellectual autobiography written as the introduction to the volume, she calls her previous work into question on the grounds that her self-appointment as an advocate for basic writers may have been presumptous, and her hopes for the politically liberating effects of academic discourse misplaced. She concludes by calling for a theory of discourse that acknowledges the need to argue for values and pedagogy that can assist these arguements to proceed more inclusively than ever before.The essays in this volume constitute the main body of work in which Bizzell developed her influential and often cited ideas. Organized chronologically, they present a picture of how she has grappled with major issues in composition studies over the past decade. In the process, she sketches a trajectory for the development of composition studies as an academic discipline.

By now it’s a given: if we’re to help our ELLs and SELs access the rigorous demands of today’s content standards, we must cultivate the "code" that drives school success: academic language. Look no further for assistance than this much-anticipated series from Ivannia Soto, in which she invites field authorities Jeff Zwiers, David and Yvonne Freeman, Margarita Calderon, and Noma LeMoine to share every teacher’s need-to-know strategies on the four essential components of academic language. The subject of this volume is conversational discourse. Here, Jeff Zwiers reveals the power of academic conversation in helping students develop language, clarify concepts, comprehend complex texts, and fortify thinking and relational skills. With this book as your roadmap, you’ll learn how to: Foster the skills and language students must develop for productive interactions Implement strategies for scaffolding paired conversations Assess student’s oral language development as you go It’s imperative that our ELLs and SELs practice academic language in rich conversations with others in school, especially when our classrooms may be their only opportunities to receive modeling, scaffolding, and feedback focused on effective discourse. This book, in concert with the other three volumes in the series, can provide both a foundation and a framework for accelerating the learning of diverse students across grade levels and disciplines.

This volume reflects the emerging interest in cross-disciplinary variation in both spoken and written academic English, exploring the conventions and modes of persuasion characteristic of different disciplines and which help define academic inquiry. This collection brings together chapters by applied linguists and EAP practitioners from seven different countries. The authors draw on various specialised spoken and written corpora to illustrate the notion of variation and to explore the concept of discipline and the different methodologies they use to investigate these corpora. The book also seeks to make explicit the valuable links that can be made between research into academic speech and writing as text, as process, and as social practice.

Rethink how academic languaging can transform content area teaching For years, the teaching of content-based academic language to multilingual learners has focused on formulas, vocabulary lists, and sentence patterns—often sidelining students’ linguistic and cultural strengths. Gisela Ernst-Slavit and Margo Gottlieb address these challenges by embracing academic languaging, an active, collaborative student-driven process. Academic Languaging offers strategies to integrate language and content learning while fostering student engagement, voice, and agency. Dedicated chapters on academic languaging for Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, and Science highlight the dimensions of disciplinary language for each subject and provide strategies for moving learning forward with multilingual learners. Additional features include: "Stop and Think" prompts to help educators connect new ideas with their instructional settings Prompts at the end of each chapter to encourage deeper thinking and application of the material Multilingual examples to mirror the varied classroom settings in the U.S. and beyond. The ultimate resource for educators committed to empowering multilingual learners and fostering meaningful, culturally sustaining education, Academic Languaging ensures multilingual learners comprehend academic content and thrive as confident, autonomous drivers of their own learning.
