This subject draws on language in a functional view; that is, it addresses text and context, the relationship between language and the social purposes it serves.  It also examines the systems of English grammar and considers traditional grammar in light of language teaching trends.  Understandings of text and discourse are developed in relation to second language teachers’ development and needs.
