Abstract

The study explores how Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL)-informed Genre-Based Approach (GBA) to teaching English as a Foreign Language writing is orchestrated in a teacher training program. This approach helps student teachers see the socio-communicative consequences of their metalinguistic repertoires to achieve certain communicative purposes to a particular readership. The data are collected through students' writing and their reflection about learning writing instructed by SFL-informed GBA. The data analysis is done using Halliday Systemic Functional Linguistics to see whether texts include appropriate lexicogrammatical choice to represent text as a social semiotic means. Results show that students are aware of their socio-communicative means of writing for a certain readership. The implementation of GBA may affect students' awareness of writing as a social act, yet a more comprehensive study needs to be developed to see how SFL-informed GBA affects pre-service teachers writing and how it helps shape English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teaching in their own classrooms.

Abstract

This study attempts to explore the potentiality of a fantasy film, i.e., Maleficent, to be used as a tool to sharpen language learners’ critical literacy toward the issue of gender construction. The purpose of the study is to unravel the genre of fantasy film as a space to deconstruct the way gender is represented. This study borrows the framework of postcolonial feminism in deconstructing and reconstructing the portrayal of the main female protagonist. As the study also discusses the insights of using film as a tool to facilitate language learning, the data is also gained from the teacher-student written and verbal reflection. The reflection data is then analyzed using narrative analysis proposed by (Creswell, 2012). The study gives insights into how fantasy films can be used for language teaching. The analysis of Maleficent as a powerful tool to sharpen language learners’ critical gender literacy.
