Description
Language Education Throughout the School Years: A Functional Perspective by Frances Christie This book explores how children and young people develop their language skills over time, from age 6 to 18. It examines how they learn to use language in different ways as they progress through school, drawing on systemic functional linguistics to understand their language development. The author reveals the changes that occur in a child's or adolescent's language resources as they engage with various subjects like science, history, and language arts. The book also shows how content, interpersonal relationships, and textual structure evolve over four stages of development. By tracing these developments, Christie offers new insights into the multi-functionality of language and provides practical awareness for educators and parents alike.
