Metacognitive analysis #6.
 After going throughout the whole material it is clear that SFL considers grammar as a meaning- maker resource and it focuses on the relationship between language and its social functions.
 According to this theory, the use of language is functional, the function of language is to make meanings and these meanings are influenced by the social and cultural context in which they are developed and thus, SFL is deeply concerned with the purposes of language use.

 This study was developed by M. A. K. Halliday and his point is that any piece of language calls into play all three metafunctions simultaneously, that is interpersonal; ideational; and textual. SFL concentrates on the analysis of written discourse. It is essential that students know the different tools to analyze written texts and for this purpose they must be aware of the different genres.

 SFL pays a lot of attention to the contextualization of a writing task and by this means, students are provided with the chance of writing about things that are appealing to them. As the communicative approach, SFL uses realistic activities based on real life situations and this enhance students’ performances in writing.

 We, as teachers, should implement activities that enable students to operate in social contexts relevant to their educational, social and cultural needs.

Cambridge University Press.    CHAPTER 1 " THE ORIGINS OF LANGUAGE"      This chapter reviews the different theories and sources that tried to account for the origins of language. Some of these sources ranged from divine powers to physical features that may have allowed the production of speech.     The Divine Source formulated that a divine source provided humans with language. To prove this, some experiments were carried out and they consisted of isolating babies as to have them only speak the God-given language.   Another theory about the origin of speech is the Natural Sound Source. The Onomatopoeic Theory stated that language may have originated from the imitation and association of sounds to the object. In modern languages, we can find examples in words such as splash, boom, bang, among others. Another theory within the Natural Sound Source, called...

ABSTRACTS Metacognitive Analysis # 13. An abstract is a short text that comprises the main concepts of a paper;it is not a simple summary of a document. An abstract should contain the purpose of the paper, the problem that the work attempts to solve; the major findings found as a result of the analysis; and a brief summary of the conclusions. In this sense, it is relevant to highlight that the main purpose of an abstract is to provide  readers with the most salient ideas of the work.In consequence,  readers can evaluate and decide whether the content of the research is relevant and useful in their own research. Moreover, an abstract should allow the readers to get enough information about the paper without requiring them to read the actual document. Accordingly, a good abstract requires accuracy; brevity and clarity, and it must be written in a formal style.
