Book Review: Language and Learning (Sixth edition)

deconstruction and analyses of process types, lexical densities, and theme-rheme have been useful for me in understanding why one text is valued and the other is not. I have been able to apply the same analyses in my students’ writing. Finally, the guidelines on the grammatical features of expository writing were a useful resource when I designed and developed the intervention package for the experimental group during my MA dissertation in 2016. In fact, I have just recently revisited this particular part of the book when I needed to design and develop a sequence of argumentative lessons for my Grades 9 and 10 students.
