Appliable Linguistics in Language Education: Systemic Functional Linguistics in Practice
Vol 26 No 1 (2021)This special issue of Ikala features educational applications that advance Halliday’s views in general and SFL genre-based pedagogy in particular. It contains contributions from multiple settings (k-12 schools, universities, and non-formal education), and programs (first, foreign and second language education; language teacher preparation). Articles are written in English and Spanish, and draw implications for research and practice, linking SFL with related fields and language teaching approaches and methodologies. The issue is nicely illustrated with oeuvres from the colombian artist Miguel Arosemena. See the artist's biographical sketch here.

Vol 25 No 2
Our artistic display in this issue is a sample of the work by maestro Manuel Guerrero Mora. Through his 50 years of artistic career, the Painter from the South, as maestro Guerrero is known, has devoted his life to observing and bringing to life Nariño landscapes. An extensive array of art exhibitions attests to his vast production, now displayed in Pasto and other cities in Colombia (Medellín, Cali, Bogotá, Barranquilla) and abroad (Paris, Ivry, Holanda, Chicago, Miami). His work has undergone successive transformations, which go from the figurative to the abstract. His thematic series South, Tropic, Labyrinths, Exodus, flawlessly executed, are recognized for their technical, gestural, and expressive treatment, and for their manifestation of sensitivity and honesty, which is the result of many years of research, tireless commitment, and intense work (Emma Rodríguez, 2020).
