Part 1   We refugees    We Refugees | A Benjamin Zephaniah Poem  from  Red Café  on  Vimeo . We Refugees I come from a musical place Where they shoot me for my song And my brother has been tortured By my brother in my land. I come from a beautiful place Where they hate my shade of skin They don’t like the way I pray And they ban free poetry.   I come from a beautiful place Where girls cannot go to school There you are told what to believe And even young boys must grow beards.   I come from a great old forest I think it is now a field And the people I once knew Are not there now.   We can all be refugees Nobody is safe, All it takes is a mad leader Or no rain to bring forth food, We can all be refugees We can all be told to go, We can be hated by someone For being someone.   I come from a beautiful place Where the valley floods each year And each year the hurricane tells ...

The study of Language .  ( Yule, G.  2010). Unit 1 & 2 LEE 4 - GROUP 8 - UNIT 1 & 2 de AgostinaSanguinetti Unit 1 This unit will deal with different theories about the origins of language.

The “natural sound” view. The “social interaction” view. The “physical adaptation” view.  The “tool-making” view. And the “innateness hypothesis”. Unit 2 This unit will, mainly, compare animal and human language. Yule establishes that communication cannot be...

Step #1 & #2 Systemic functional linguistics de AgostinaSanguinetti  and Florencia Franco Step #3 Cargando… Step #4 SFL in a EFL context Metacognitive analysis The topic that caught almost all of my attention of this entry was genre. I realized that it was a topic that was hardly even mention in my English lessons at school. I became more aware of genre at the profesorado. While reading the texts and watching the videos from this entry I was able to notice how much easier a genre and function focused approach could be for students. Perhaps the word is not precisely easier but, actually, more functional for communicative purposes. I consider all the material very informative, but I would have liked it to provide more clear examples of how to implement the genre-based model of language at the classroom.
