School Discourse - Learning to Write Across the Years of Schooling

Zusammenfassung Writing development has been a key area of research in applied linguistics. Using a systemic functional grammar, this book outlines 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.
