Entry #6


I found SFL very interesting. Even though there were some thing that are mentioned here that I use in my classes it was fantastic to have the theoretical background of it. I try to use visible thinking with my students so It is inevitable to connect it to SFL because we need to ask ourselves questions we need to go deeper that simply what the words say. 

I do believe that we a social beings so it everything we do is connected to a context. Nothing makes sense if we do not contextualize it. We would end up , in our case, just teaching grammar structures which I don't think is the correct way to take. 

I do believe that all our students should have the same opportunities and I do believe that SFL is very important not only helps with second language acquisition or any content area but also with what I find ,as a teacher,my main aim: critical thinking.

Properties of Human Language All creatures communicate, but only humans have the property of REFLEXIVITY or REFLEXIVENESS. This means that we can use language to think and talk about language itself. The Theory of reflexivity allows us to identify other...

  This has been a project that has enriched me a lot, not only due to the academic information that I have acknowledged, but also because I got immersed in a topic that I didn't know much about.. Regarding academic writing I started paying more attention to the structure of my pieces of writing , I used to pay more attention to the content rather than the structure of it, and I realized both things are equally important. In connection to the topic chosen for this project, I found it really interesting and the best thing of all, I think that many peoplewereable to empathise and understand better their situation, The most important thing , in my opinion, was that nobody lives in bad conditions because they are happy and they like living like that, and this is extensive to refugees as well as other people who do not have the same opportunities  that we have.
