- Title
Rich Feature Analysis as an Enabling Tool for Composition Teaching.

- Abstract
Exploring the usage of language in light of its functions in specific pragmatic contexts, Systematic Functional Grammar (SFG) can be a promising tool for language teaching. Relying on this tool, teachers can promote learners' linguistic awareness from the level of passive rule-following to that of explicit understanding, a level where they can see linguistic expression's functional significance as explanation of their effectiveness. This paper is intended as a demonstration of such an explanatory procedure. Employing a SFG-based Rich Feature Analysis to examine students' composition, it aims to show how we can efficiently and convincingly identify and explain some problematic constructions in their writing.
