The choices in Mode (textual function) are not as productive in this response. While the Ideational and Interpersonal meanings are conveyed adequately regarding what ergonomics is and without exceeding limitations, the organization and flow of the message across clauses is disjointed and lacks coherence.

Writing workshop part 1
- 2. Workshop Aims This workshop will help participants’ understanding and practice in three crucial areas of their researchbased academic writing: the organization of the message, the packaging of information, and the evaluation of knowledge claims. Our work on organization encompasses the ordering, pre/reviewing , and packaging ideas for flow. As time permits, the workshop also focuses on the writer’s options for evaluating knowledge claims, including those from cited sources.

Systemic Functional Linguistics: A theory of language Language is a resource for APPLICATIONS mediating social life, interpersonally and intrapersonally Language emerges from and evolves with meaning-making in human society Meanings are reflected in the functional structure of language at various scales of practice, from instances of meaning-making in texts to the open system of language as a meaning potential.

- 18. Controlled text analysis practice: Discriminating between meanings most relevant to Field, Tenor or Mode Task in university course quiz: Define “ergonomics” Model “textbook” answer: Ergonomics is defined as the design of workspaces so that the best is made of human capabilities without exceeding human limitations.
- 19. Ergonomics is defined as the design of workspaces so that the best is made of human capabilities without exceeding human limitations. The model answer achieves appropriate links between meaning in context (F, T, M) and wording ie choices in Ideational, Interpersonal, & Textual functions of language.
- 20. Choices in two metafunctions enact meaning in context appropriately. But choices in one of the metafunctions are not so productive: which one? Field, Tenor, or Mode? Ergonomics is the appropriate design of work. The best of people’s capacities can be achieved through it. People’s limitations, however, are not exceeded with ergonomic design.
- 21. Choices in two metafunctions enact meaning in context appropriately. But choices in one of the metafunctions are not so productive: which one? Field, Tenor, or Mode? Ergonomics makes the design work well and people make the best of what they are capable of and they made this without going over our limitations.
