{ "pk": 36087, "title": "Academic Language, English Language Learners, and Systemic Functional Linguistics: Connecting Theory and Practice in Teacher Education", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "Teacher educators need linguistic tools to help preservice teachers develop a deeper understanding of the academic language demands of the literacy practices required by the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). Systemic functional linguistics (SFL) serves as a tool for developing teachers’ knowledge of contentarea language. Teachers’ increased knowledge of language facilitates the construction of language-focused instruction to support the academic literacy development of English language learners. I introduce SFL theory and illustrate how I put the theory into practice to support the literacy development of beginning-level English language learners in a middle school classroom. I include recommendations for teachers and teacher educators regarding how to embed the theory in classroom practice and teacher preparation.", "language": "eng", "license": null, "keywords": [], "section": "CATESOL Exchanges", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/7d7774sv", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Joshua", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Schulze", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Nevada State College", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": null, "date_accepted": null, "date_published": "2015-01-01T13:00:00-05:00", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/catesoljournal/article/36087/galley/26939/download/" } ] }
