Series: Language, Culture, and Teaching Series

This critical volume provides accessible examples of how K–12 teachers use systemic functional linguistics (SFL) and action research to support the disciplinary literacy development of diverse learners in the context of high-stakes school reform. With chapters from teachers, teacher educators, and researchers, this book paves the way for teachers to act as change agents in their schools to design and implement meaningful curriculum, instruction, and assessment that builds on students’ cultural and linguistic knowledge. Addressing case studies and contexts, this book provides the framework, tools, and resources for instructing and supporting multilingual students and ELL. This volume – intended for pre- and in-service teachers – aims to improve educators’ professional practice through critical SFL pedagogy and helps teachers combat racism and anti-immigrant rhetoric by contributing to an equity agenda in their schools.

Reviews for In Pursuit of a Multilingual Equity Agenda: SFL Teacher Action Research

"""The editors have done a remarkable job in writing chapters with teachers and maintaining what is clearly a remarkable and sustained collaboration with the teachers from ongoing professional development courses to providing guidance and support for the teachers’ action research; from creating opportunities for teachers to presenting their work at an SFL conference to the publication of this book. Their respect for teachers and their work is a shining example for other teacher educators as is their commitment to marginalised communities and a more just society."" --From the Foreword by Hilary Janks, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa"
