    • For example, she notes instructions, observation, description and personal recount as genres within the everyday domain, while procedure, report and historical recount feature in the academic domain. What is clear here is that literacy teaching needs to be part of all subjects taught in primary schools and secondary schools.

    In these ways, students are required to learn to use language in new ways as they master the registers and text types of the subjects they are learning. Technical language is expert knowledge that goes beyond observable experience. Technical terms are the direct result of the kinds of knowledge scientists, geographers and other specialists are involved in developing as they study, classify and reclassify the world into taxonomies.

    In contrast, technical criteria go beyond such directly observable experience. If we asked a biologist to group these items, their criteria for grouping would be whether or not they come from a pollinated flower. Scientists draw on knowledge gained from technology, as well as experiments, to produce a different picture of the world.

    Neither view is correct: Each approach sees the same three organic things but they see them differently. For example, some common technical terms used by geographers interested in the climate are: Please select Ok if you would like to proceed with this request anyway.
