This book tracks the developmental changes in writing across the
schools curriculum, enhancing a key area of research in applied
linguistics. Writing development has been a key area of research in
applied linguistics for some time, but most work has focused on
children's writing at particular ages. Christie and Derewianka draw
on extensive research in both primary and secondary years to trace
the developmental trajectory from age 5 or 6 through to 18. Using a
systemic functional grammar, they outline developmental changes in
writing in three major areas of the school curriculum - English,
history, and science - as children move from early childhood to
late childhood and on to adolescence and adulthood. The book
considers the nature of the curriculum at various stages,
discussing the interplay of curriculum goals, pedagogy and
developmental changes as children grow older. It also explores how
emergent control of the different subjects requires control of
various subject specific literacies and considers the pedagogical
implications of their findings. "School Discourse" will be of
interest to anyone involved in the writing performance of children
in schools, particularly applied and educational linguists.
Discourse is one of the most significant concepts of contemporary
thinking in the humanities and social sciences as it concerns the
ways language mediates and shapes our interactions with each other
and with the social, political and cultural formations of our
society. "The Continuum Discourse Series" aims to capture the
fast-developing interest in discourse to provide students, new and
experienced teachers and researchers in applied linguistics, ELT
and English language with an essential bookshelf. Each book deals
with a core topic in discourse studies to give an in-depth,
structured and readable introduction to an aspect of the way
language is used in real life.
