Teaching Writing Informed by SFL: “I never would have thought of doing that...” Tracy Hodgson-Drysdale Dissertation Director: Maria Estela Brisk Writing is an essential tool for creating meaningful communication and as such it must be taught beginning in elementary school. Although in the past 100 years writing has become more common in our everyday lives, methods of teaching writing and teacher education have not kept pace with changes (National Commission on Writing, 2003). As a result, teachers are underprepared to teach writing and do not teach it enough (Gilbert & Graham, 2010). The goal of this study is to understand how teacher-researcher relationships can facilitate the development of a teacher’s knowledge of the theoretical foundations of teaching writing through systemic functional linguistics (SFL) and the teaching and learning cycle (TLC), and how that understanding affects the implementation of meaningful writing instruction that supports bilingual students as they

The Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) is often applied to analyze political discourse including the public speech, in which the speaker wins hearts of the audience. This research paper presents the Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) of Z.A Bhutto's (a former Prime minister of Pakistan) speech through Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) which serves a theoretical framework for the present research work. The aim of the present study is to explore and reveals the way the language serves as a vehicle to exercise the notions of ideology and power. A detailed analysis of this speech enables us to understand their basic purpose of the used language in the speech. Additionally, we can have a good understanding of the political purpose of the speech in our daily lives. Because political speeches are not merely speeches rather these aimed to influence the minds of the listeners (Audience), and to fulfill several other hidden motives of the politicians in the field of politics.The aim of this investigation is to discover how the political speeches made by politicians influence the minds of public and grab their attention to achieve their own personal aims. For this purpose, the present study presents a discourse analysis of a political speech of Z.A Bhutto, a former prime minister and an active politician in the history of Pakistan. To serve this end, the text of one political speech has been explored through two basic approaches of discourse analysis; a. Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) b. Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) The present study is interpretative through and through. The interpretation and explanation is done in many steps. The interpretation begins with the very act of identifying and selecting text of a speech from Bhutto's political scenario. However, before describing the ‗procedure' of selection and interpretation of data, it is important to define a text first. The text of Bhutto's speech is chosen from one of the most important perspectives of his political scenario as his speech on 15 December, 1971 in Security Council. It plays an important role in popularity of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto.

To make a translation that is natural, clear, and accurate, translators need to understand the discourse features of the language they are translating from and the language they are translating into, even if this is their mother tongue. * These training materials describe important discourse features in narratives, such as natural ways of starting a new section, joining clauses and sentences, describing the characters in a story, representing speech and thoughts, highlighting important information, and distinguishing the main events from background information. * Each chapter introduces a particular discourse feature and provides discovery procedures to help readers identify and describe this feature in their own languages. * These procedures are then applied to the Greek text of Acts 16:16–40, and readers are guided through how to translate part of this passage. * No previous knowledge of Greek is assumed.

Is the study of how language varies in relation to the social situation or context where it used. We study various characteristics of language and see why these features differ according to the context where language is used.
