Guidelines On Incorporating Systemic Functional Linguistics In Teaching History To Efl Students
Authors : Yousfi Nabila .
Abstract
The present article seeks to enhance the instructional practices of teaching British and American History in Algerian universities. The primary aim of this study is to introduce Systemic Functional linguistics (SFL) to teachers of history and to demonstrate the steps that teachers are supposed to follow in order to apply this language-based approach in their classes. SFL is an approach that helps to show the way lexico-grammatical features of a given text can relate to its socio-cultural background. Since the most acknowledged approaches to teaching history in Algeria are content based, teachers and students alike are caring less about language in their history classes, which can result in poor understanding of historical discourse and an unfavorable view about the subject. Therefore, this article suggests a theoretical framework for teaching history using SFL as way to demonstrate that historical texts are part of communicative events wherein the writers’ intentions and linguistic choices are of paramount concern.
