TESOL in Context
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.
