Beschreibung
This volume explores how educators conceptualized and implemented critical approaches to systemic functional linguistics that support bilingual students in appropriating and challenging dominant knowledge domains in K-16 contexts. The researchers exhibit a shared commitment to enacting a culturally sustaining SFL praxis that validates multilingual meaning making, pushes against social inequity, and fosters creative re-mixing of available semiotic resources. It should prove a valuable resource for students, teachers and researchers interested in applied linguistics, education and critical theory.

“[This book] show the incredible reach and potential of SFL–based pedagogies. … There is a wealth of examples provided in all four of the books on how the theory and pedagogy have been adapted to the varying contexts, demonstrating not only their flexibility but also the ease with which researchers and educators have found entry points for their purposes.” (Anne McCabe, Language, Context and Text, Vol. 4 (1), 2022)
