The 2nd LinC Summer school and Workshop in Systemic Functional Linguistics
Location: Cardiff University, Wales
3 - 5 September 2012
We are pleased to announce the 2nd LinC summer school in Systemic Functional Linguistics to be held at Cardiff University from September 3-5 inclusive, 2012, with welcome and registration taking place on September 2nd.
The goal of the summer school is to offer research and training in both understanding the Systemic Functional Linguistic theory of language and applying it to educational settings. The summer school will run two parallel courses: introduction and applied.
The introduction to SFL course is ideal for people with little or no experience of SFL or those who want a refresher course. The applied course assumes a good foundation in SFL and is suited for people interested in applying SFL to educational settings. Both are suitable for professionals, students, andresearcherswho have an interest in learning more about Systemic Functional Linguistics and its applications.
The summer school will also include a Poster Session (see below for more information).
