Dr John Walsh is particularly interested in Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) and its applications to the study of language as used in everyday life and in more specialised contexts of professional life. A key interest is in the application of SFL to the broad field of education, where he has taught and researched in literacy development, literacy pedagogy, EAL and EFL. He is also interested in the relationship between language and learning and in language development and maintains a strong connection with the Department of Education and Children's Services, where he has conducted much of his research. He has previously worked at UniSA, UTS Sydney, and in a range of locations including Japan, Malaysia, Thailand, Kuwait and the UK.
