This year’s final Sydney SFL Friday Seminar was by Theo van Leeuwen entitled: ‘The rules of the game’ Thank you, Theo!

Today is the last lecture of the 2023 Register class. Big thanks to @YaeganDoran who kindly convened the class, and also to every one of you who joined along!

Today we have @D_Stosic & @arizitmuno presenting “Thanks for not judging but for validating my experience”: a multimodal perspective on evaluation in an online mental health campaign” Thank you Gaga and Lilian!

This week's Sydney SFL Friday Seminar is by Dariush Izadi entitled: Exploring the phenomenology of shopping as social practice: An inquiry into the multimodal and linguistic repertoires in markets in Sydney. Thank you so much, Dariush!

Today we have Andrés Ramírez as our presenter! His study serves extending pivotal pedagogical principles of genre-pedagogy, which may very well lay the foundations for a fourth generation genre-based pedagogy.

Today we have Fiona Rossetti-Crake presenting the modelling of public speaking practice! Her research draws upon the instantiation of spoken monologic mode on social media that acts as a form of activism for Gen Y and Z.
