 Tesol in Context - Volume 18 Number 2

Harders & Macken-Horarik give a practical account of a highly successful teaching program undertaken by Pam Harders at a high school in Canberra, ACT. Their 'scaffolding literacy pedagogy' encourages learners to engage in fluent meaningful decoding of text through 'supported reading' before working on phonics, spelling and vocabulary.

Ramanathan and Pennycook's paper is a more theoretical sociolinguistic piece. The authors argue a case against one-to-one relationships between national and ethnic identities we are often guity of ascribing to TESOL students in our learning environments. The authors' main arguments for this position draw on a range of data and context, but in particular focus upon the lives of Anglo-Indians.

Derewianka uses Appraisal Theory to analyse reviews of the television series Summer Heights High written by YouTube contributors, bloggers and expert reviewers. For each type of of review she explores what is evaluated, how it is evaluated and what is revealed about the attitude of the reviewer.

Finally, Rhonda Oliver gives a moving tribute to the late Kate Mullin, who was well known across the school and tertiary sectors in Western Australia and further afield. Oliver speaks of her long-standing friendship with Kate, both professional and personal.
