Language learning |
| Notes |
"This book examines the acquisition of advanced levels of ability in three parts: theoretical, descriptive and instructional. It moves beyond the traditional constraints of second language acquisition research by linking systemic functional linguistics and sociocultural theory. The contributors draw primarily on the work of Halliday, Vygotsky and Bakhtin, as well as empirical data from the language classroom, to suggest practical applications towards advanced literacy and linguistic competence"--Back cover |
