Default Re: Teaching functional grammar in Japan
Hi John

Once I get my head around it (who knows when that penny will drop?!) I would like to try and incorporate it into my teaching but I think that step is a while off yet. The language institute where I teach is pretty cut and dry with their approach to teaching grammar. How is your use of SFG in the classroom received in Japan? Do the powers that be stay happy if the students are happy? Or are you your own boss? Are students receptive to it? I might have to join the SYSFLING list to get a broader view on SFL. Do you recommend it?
