Description

Writing Science Literacy and Discursive Power explores how language is used in the science classroom. It examines the evolution of scientific discourse for learning in secondary schools, looking at various aspects such as lexiogrammar, discourse semantics, register, genre, and ideology.

The book focuses on how this knowledge is imparted to students, making it a valuable resource for educators involved with linguistics and/or science curriculum. It will be of particular interest to teachers of undergraduates in science and literacy, linguists teaching in English for special and academic purposes, and students in higher education with an interest in science and literacy.
