The Communicative Syllabus —— A Systemic-Functional Approach to Language Teaching

----- 交际教学大纲：语言教学的系统功能

ISBN: 9781474247276 出版年：2015 页码：194 Robin Melrose Bloomsbury Publishing

Beginning with a thorough survey of approaches to communicative syllabus design, Melrose deals with the early 1970s functional approach and subsequent criticism of it as well as the contemporary search for a process approach to language learning. It proposes a meaning negation model, which draws upon the seminal work of Halliday, Martin, Fawcett and Lemke, and is illustrated through their analysis of a unit from a communicative course book. Its topical-interactional approach is placed within the context of the current debate on language teaching and learning.
