SCHOOL DISCOURSE - FRANCES CHRISTIE BEVERLY DER...

Writing development has been a key area of research in applied linguistics for some time  but
most work has focused on children's writing at particular ages. Christie and Derewianka draw on
extensive research in both primary and secondary years to trace the developmental trajectory
from age 5 or 6 through to 18. Using a systemic functional grammar  they outline 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. The book considers the nature of the curriculum at various stages  discussing the
interplay of curriculum goals  pedagogy and developmental changes as children grow older. It
also explores how emergent control of the different subjects requires control of various
subject specific literacies and considers the pedagogical implications of their findings.
School Discourse will be of interest to anyone involved in the writing performance of children
in schools  particularly applied and educational linguists.
