Community, Capital and Culture: Celebrating SFL: 2018 ASFLA National Conference – a Culture interest event taking place on 2018-09-26 09:00:00 in Australia
The 2018 Australian Systemic Functional Linguistics Association Community, Capital and Culture: Celebrating SFL This conference continues the celebratory theme initiated at ASFLA 2016 by focusing on the achievements of Systemic Functional Linguistics. The conference is inclusive of all areas and applications of SFL, as well as related fields of inquiry, such as multimodality and LCT. For this reason, we have chosen the concepts of community, capital and culture as guiding themes. All three concepts are integral to the architecture and principles of SFL. This conference will reflect on key concepts on SFL itself; to constructively reflect on the role of community, capital and culture in SFL. What positive role has the SFL community played in the development of this research? What capital does SFL have? What does SFL culture afford? What other communities have contributed to and engaged with SFL in the development of this research? We see this conference as an opportunity for constructive scholarly reflection, as well as an opportunity to instigate a positive and celebratory disposition that will define ASFLA in Adelaide, 2018.

Her work has appeared in journals such as the TESOL Quarterly, Modern Language Journal, Journal of Second Language Writing, Linguistics and Education, and Language Arts. Day Three: Applications in SFLDr Lucy Macnaught Lucy Macnaught is an Academic Learning Advisor at Auckland University of Technology.

She is particularly interested in classroom metalanguage, academic writing development and teacher education. Her PhD in educational linguistics investigated the collaborative writing methodology of joint construction. Previously, Lucy has worked as an English teacher on intensive pre-tertiary programmes, and as a sessional TESOL lecturer. She has also participated in a number of large-scale research projects that explore discipline-specific literacy and teachers’ knowledge about language in secondary schooling.
