Systemic Functional Linguistics: An approach to analyzing written academic di...ClmentNdoricimpa
Written academic discourse refers to the way of thinking and using language that exist in the academy. Writers demonstrate knowledge and negotiate social relations with readers by means of written discourse. In order to understand these characteristics of written discourse, different approaches are followed. Some follow a linguistic approach to uncover the linguistic devices associated with coherence in a written text. Other follow a social approach to analyze the social cultural context in which a written text occurs. However, it is demonstrated that the linguistic and the social cultural elements in a written text cannot be disassociated and that an approach, which combine the two approaches is required. Such an approach is Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL). Therefore, this paper discusses the way in which SFL is used as an approach to analyzing linguistic features of academic discourses and how those features relate to social cultural context. In this paper, it is shown that SFL provides the means to analyze not only the linguistic resources employed in a written text but also the context in which the text is used. These linguistic resources are associated with the creation of ideational, interpersonal and textual meaning at the level of lexicogrammar and discourse semantic. The context is modelled through register and genre theory.

Ecolinguistics is the study of language is relevant to many other fields of inquiry. Ecolinguistics is the study of language according to the environment it is used in (Derni, 2008).
Language is part of the environment where we live, it is to be speculated in accordance with this environment. And as language enters into almost every aspect of human life, many disciplines dealing with various aspects of human life can be used in correspondence with linguistic study.
Ecolinguistics also investigates the role of language in the development and possible solution of ecological and environmental problems (Fill, 1993 in Al-Gayoni, 2012:28). In the other words ecolinguistics is a study of preservation of linguistic diversity.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

13. FUNCTIONAL GRAMMAR
HALLIDAY
Functional →in the sense that it is designed to
account for how the language is used:
everything in it can be explained by reference to
how language is used.
13
14. FUNCTIONAL GRAMMAR
THE FUNDAMENTAL
COMPONENTS OF
MEANING: are functional
components.
All languages are
organized around two
main kinds of meaning,
two “METAFUNCTIONS”
14
FUNCTIONAL GRAMMAR
15. METAFUNCTIONS
they are the manifestations in the linguistic system
of the two very general purposes which underlie all
uses of language:
15
THE IDEATIONAL or “reflective”: TO UNDERSTAND THE
ENVIRONMENT.
THE INTERPERSONAL or “active”: TO ACT ON THE
OTHERS IN THE ENVIRONMENT.
Combined with these is a third
metafunctional component: THE TEXTUAL:
which breathes relevance into the other two.
16. WHY SYSTEMIC ?
SYSTEMIC THEORY: a theory of MEANING AS
CHOICE, by which a language, or any other
semiotic system, is interpreted as networks of
interlocking options: “either this , or that, or the
other”. Whatever is chosen in one system
becomes the way into a set of choices in another.
GRAMMATICAL CATEGORIES EXPLAINED AS THE
REALIZATION OF SEMANTIC PATTERNS.

18. FUNCTIONAL LANGUAGE

Form – Use
→Communication:
communicative competence,
participants, context.
Language: sentences,
structures→ printed text,
speech.

19. THE HOW
Critical Discourse Analysis - CDA.
Language social practice.
Use intention.
Visible connections.
Constructive effect of discourse.
Specific discursive acts ↔ socio-cultural
context.

22. CONSTRUCTIVE DISCOURSE
Wodak (1999): discourses - identities → four social
macrofuntions:
production.
construction.
maintenance.
transformation and destruction.

23. DISCOURSE HISTORICAL APPROACH
Socio-historical context.
Content: analysis of discursive construction of
identities.
Strategies:
- macro: construction & destruction.
- micro strategies: positive self-representation.
Negative: the others
23
24. 24
Destroying to construct Shared culture (bonds, ties)-
Macro strategies
construction →micro
strategies→ destruction
→”we” – distancing &
exclusion of the other.
“Us” & “ The others”
constitute a standardised
relational couple : use one of
the pair – invoking the other
(Leudar 2004).
togetherness
- Images: “ a language that
evokes in the reader’s
mind a physical sensation
produced by one of the
senses “. (Kirszner
&Mandell 1994,p. 654).-
- Shared History, common
origin.
25. CONTEXT OF CULTURE
Each text has its
environment; the
“context of situation”
in Manilowski’s terms
the overall language
system has its
environment,“Context
of culture”.
The context of
culture
determines the
nature of the
code.

27. THE CITY UPON THE HILL
“For we must consider that we shall be as
a city upon a hill. The eyes of all people
are upon us. So that if we shall deal
falsely with our God in this work we
have undertaken… we shall be made a
story and a by-word throughout the
world" (John Winthrop 1630, p. 47)
Light, example for the rest of the world.
Common past, construction a present & political futures.
Cultural shared values & ideologies → national unity
→legitimization.
Internal Cohesion →external threat→ enemy.
27
28. USE OF SYMBOLS “LIGHT" &
“DARKNESS"
LIGHT
(the Americans)
DARKNESS
(the enemy)
The way to defeat that ideology
is with an ideology of light.
They’ve got an ideology, but it’s
and ideology that is dark and
dismal.
The day they feared has
arrived. And with it has come a
moment of great clarity.
This enemy plots in shadows.
We’ re the brightest beacon for
freedom and opportunity in the
world. And no one will keep
that light from shining.
The darkness of terror will be
defeated.
