| Summary |
This edition is updated in line with the new Australian Curriculum. Are you grappling with grammar? Confused about Circumstances? Puzzled about Processes and Participants? The revival of grammar teaching in schools has led to an increased interest in the functional approach. This book illuminates the terminolgy, dispels some myths and demonstrates the usefulness of functional grammar. This is an invaluable resource for students and teachers of English as a first, second or foreign language, as well as for those interested in exploring the role of language in social and educational contexts. Teachers working with syllabus and curriculum documents based on the use of whole texts in context will also find this book a helpful guide to understanding the ideas underpinning these documents |
