Description
This chapter builds up a metalanguage that teachers can use for analysing texts, planning and teaching lessons, and assessment. he first section explores patterns of meaning in grammar, and the second section explores patterns of meaning in discourse, both from the perspective of their usefulness in teaching. The discussion is designed to build up knowledge about language in steps, modelling the sequence that can be followed in teacher education and in the classroom.
