Greater knowledge about the uses of language informs teaching throughout the curriculum, not just in those lessons describes as English lessons. This book includes both the formative and performative aspects of language use--the texts and the processes. It goes further than looking at language as merely a proof of learning, but includes material which focuses on the three major aspects of the relationship between pupils, language and learning: learning to use language in specific contexts; using language to learn through the curriculum; learning to talk about, reflect on and evaluate language. |
