Culturally Sustaining Systemic Functional Linguistics Praxis: Embodied Inquiry with Multilingual Youth (Language, Culture, and Teaching Series)

Starting with a clear overview to culturally sustaining Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) praxis, this book guides readers through the practical and analytic exploration of youth participatory work in ELA and art classrooms and community settings. Applying an SFL lens, Harman and Burke articulate a vision for youth learning and civic engagement that focuses on the power of drama, community activism, and student agency. Offering a range of research-driven and multimodal tools and methods for teachers to encourage students' meaning-making, Harman and Burke share how preservice and inservice teachers can interact and support diverse and multilingual students and foster an environment to enhance language arts and content area knowledge and understanding--
