Book excerpt: "The purpose of this application thesis is to describe a research-based application of academic language that is infused into the traditional curriculum and instruction of a middle school social studies class. The research indicates that content-area and general academic vocabulary instruction has had a positive impact on students' reading comprehension in tandem with teaching academic language features such as register, genre structure, and discourse markers through functional language analysis. This study describes using functional language analysis to integrate specific features of academic language into an eighth-grade social studies class. That being said, the design can be modified to fit most secondary content-area classrooms."--leaf 4.
