Summary:

This book explores the Knowledge Framework (KF), a heuristic grounded in Systemic Functional Linguistics, designed to integrate language, content, thinking skills, and visual representations in educational contexts. Originating from Bernard A. Mohan's work, the KF highlights the interplay between theory and practice in social practices and educational activities. The text offers a comprehensive review of the KF's history, its applications in diverse academic disciplines, and its utility in teaching English language learners. It addresses topics such as corpus-based analysis, academic writing, teacher training, and interdisciplinary learning, aiming to enhance educators' abilities to connect language with content instruction. Suitable for linguists, educators, and researchers, the book underscores the relevance of knowledge structures in fostering effective teaching and learning. Generated by AI.
