Profile
John Knox has taught in the Linguistics Department at Macquarie since 2000. From 1992 to 2000, he taught EFL in the English Department at Rangsit University, Thailand. He has also taught on EFL and ESP programs at Kasetsart University, Mahidol University, and Mahidol University International College in Thailand; and has taught EAP at Macquarie University and the University of Sydney in Australia.
John completed a Master of Applied Linguistics by distance at Macquarie University, and his PhD thesis, which examines the multimodal discourse of online newspapers, was completed at the University of Sydney. His current and recent research projects include:
- an investigation of the discourse of the Academic Writing module in the IELTS test (with Mehdi Riazi)
- an investigation of language-teacher education by distance (with David Hall)
- an investigation of emerging news genres in online newspapers (with Helen Caple)
- an exploration of the discourses of education and the mass media on the world wide web (with Emilia Djonov and Sumin Zhao).
His primary academic interests are in the broad areas of:
- language in education
- Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL)
- multimodality
- media discourse.
John has supervised research projects in curriculum development and implementation; language assessment; pedagogic discourse in face-to-face, online, and blended environments; educational discourses and policy; and web discourse. He is particularly interested in supervising research where Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) and Multimodal Discourse Analysis (MDA) are employed in analysis.
In addition to research supervision, John teaches on a number of units in Macquarie’s Postgraduate Programs in Applied Linguistics. In the new curriculum (to be introduced in 2012), his teaching and convening responsibilities are:
- convenor and lecturer for APPL901: Genre, Discourse and Multimodality
- convenor and lecturer for APPL912: Language, Learning and Community.
John is currently on sabbatical leave.
