Thanks very much for your helpful leads! Could I put forward one more
request? It would be helpful to me if you could briefly summarize the
different views on genre-based/functionalist-grammar-based literacy in
Australia (e.g., Allan Luke's critique; Jim's development of it; I noticed
that in Jim's earlier message, he had one sentence mentioning the debate
and also introducing the Cope and Kalantzis book).
I know these positions must be rather complicated and defy simple
characterization, but a brief summary of the major issues of contention
would give me an "advance organizer" to the literature!
Thanks a million! :-)
