In this DELTA input session, we explore the concept of coherence in texts and how it contributes to meaning. We'll break down key elements, including functional sequences and the illocutionary force, to help you better understand and apply these concepts in the classroom.
Here's what we cover:
00:00 - 03:25 Coherence in Texts: What makes a text coherent?
03:27 - 09:41 Information patterns: How is information organized in texts?
09:41 - 12:16 Functional Sequences: How do functional patterns create meaning?
12:16 - 13:56 Illocutionary Force: Understanding the sender's intention and how it shapes coherence.
13:57 - 14:38 Classroom Activities: Engaging tasks to teach coherence and improve learners’ understanding of text structure.
