This paper contends that pedagogies like genre-based pedagogy and Reading to Learn (R2L), which are informed by systemic functional linguistics (SFL), can help foster inclusivity in classrooms. Both pedagogies are based on the idea that language should be taught functionally and explicitly. SFL informed teaching practices have been used, particularly in educational settings like low-achieving schools, to make the linguistic demands of the curriculum explicit to learners. This has resulted in enhanced student engagement and narrowing of achievement gaps. The paper begins with a brief note on inclusivity and its importance, followed by an introduction to SFL and its architecture. It then explores the applications of genre-based pedagogy and R2L in classrooms (mainly in North America and Australia) as well as the results of such implementations and concludes with an argument that educational research in the Indian context could benefit from applications of Halliday’s functional theory to teacher training and teaching practices at the school level.

Ukrainians constitute the third largest ethnic group in Estonia (The Population and Housing Census, 2011). In the same time, it regrettably becomes evident that the maintaining of the language and culture of the Ukrainian minority living in Estonia and their attitudes towards their own heritage language have hardly been studied at all (see also Küün, 2022). This study seeks to fill mentioned gap by adding information on the family language policy practiced by the Ukrainians living in the Republic of Estonia to the field of research concerned with family language policy (FLP) and transmission of the heritage language and culture. The article describes the role of Ukrainian Sunday schools in two Estonian towns, Tapa and Sillamäe. Some of the parents of children studying Ukrainian language and culture in Sunday schools in mentioned towns are involved as informants of the study. I used four semi-structured interviews in frame of case studies as my research method. Study results reveal that the role of language and culture related Sunday schools should certainly not be underestimated in strengthening national mindsets and a sense of belonging, learning the heritage language, and encouraging the use of Ukrainian.
乌克兰人是爱沙尼亚第三大民族(人口和住房普查,2011年)。与此同时,令人遗憾的是,生活在爱沙尼亚的乌克兰少数民族的语言和文化的维持以及他们对自己的遗产语言的态度几乎没有得到研究(另见k n, 2022)。这项研究试图填补上述空白,将关于居住在爱沙尼亚共和国的乌克兰人实行的家庭语言政策的资料加入有关家庭语言政策和传承语言和文化的研究领域。这篇文章描述了乌克兰主日学校在两个爱沙尼亚城镇Tapa和Sillamäe的作用。在上述城镇的主日学校学习乌克兰语言和文化的儿童的一些父母作为研究的举报人参与了研究。我的研究方法是在案例研究的框架下使用四个半结构化访谈。研究结果显示,与语言和文化相关的主日学在加强民族心态和归属感、学习传统语言和鼓励使用乌克兰语方面的作用当然不应被低估。

Despite multilingualism and multiculturalism, English language is taught by teachers as they face impacts of globalization, diffusion, and disruption. Armed with ideas, practices, strategies, and perspectives, the English language teachers continue providing quality and relevant language instruction to their students both in virtual and onsite classes. Living in a borderless and boundless world makes learners acquire and learn other languages. As language and literature teachers, we have to be innovative in developing, designing, and implementing new curriculum and instruction that will cater to the needs and diversities of the learners. This reflective and narrative paper aims to discuss and describe the researcher’s fruitful and thoughtful introspections on multilingualism and multiculturalism as they affect and effect online and offline ESL classes, and how teachers cope with the situation.
