We're honoured that our article has been selected for the 1st Bookclub of 2018. LCT's dimension of Semantics is being used in a wide variety of educational contexts around the world and has transformed the way we teach. Our students report that it provides a clear visual representation of text analysis and development. Below is a link to the video which is being used to teach reflective writing in EAP courses at Monash College, Melbourne. We hope you find the ideas useful and look forward to discussing the notion of 'surfing the wave' further.

They tend to paraphrase rather than extend. Have you found that sts still tend to fall back on paraphrasing/ repeating the same info, or has it transformed the way they approach writing?

I am a teacher trainer and have often been challenged with the delivery of PD on subject/academic literacy . ]]> 2018-02-09 03:18:52 UTC https://padlet.com/sophiakhanelt/riding_the_waves/wish/229889217 martin_yakabuski https://padlet.com/sophiakhanelt/riding_the_waves/wish/229890914 Would it be supportive, if we are teaching descriptive non fiction text structure, to have learners isolate the example first and then create the more lexically dense topic/support/concluding sentences?

The waves might not be waves but but more like the straight line graphs - as different purpose and audience requires different lexical choices. I find it a helpful visualisation anyway!
