[Jack in Tokyo]

Hi Manxli,
It is now a year and a half since I posted the first of this thread. Since then I finished the M.Ed(TESOL) and have been trying to introduce some elements of SFL to my adult classes. For the last 8 months I have been trying out elements of 'Reading to Learn' a program developed by Professor David Rose of Sydney University. This approach involves selecting texts that are interesting and a little above the level of the class so that they are challenging. This is presented ( as in the typical SFL mode) first as the whole text and then a couple of paragraphs are analysed carefully. There is too much to explain here but it is very successful. (It has worked very well at a much simpler level with young Aboriginal children in remote areas of Australia where English is not their spoken- at home- language).
Over to you tell me something you are doing Manxli.
Regards,
John
