The widespread, theoretically-informed practice of curricula embedded academic language and learning development is generally acknowledged as the most productive method of improving tertiary student outcomes. University-wide comprehensive support, however, for the collaborative processes of interdisciplinary research, design, resource and staff development required to achieve this, is not common. Yet many practitioners continue to engage in embedding initiatives in response to faculty requests, despite institutional constraints on time and funding. This paper documents one such initiative, a common yet under-reported type, conducted one small step at a time over a number of years in a firstyear core unit in the architecture faculty of a large metropolitan university in Australia. The paper aims to respond Wingate’s (2018) call for more thorough documentation of pedagogic principles applied in embedding practice to allow for replicability. This granular examination of the first implementation and later refinements of the initiative shows how aligning practice with proven theoretical models, in this case, Systemic Functional Linguistic (SFL) and the SFL-based pedagogic model, the Teaching/ Learning Cycle (TLC), proved fruitful in constrained circumstances.

New Interpretation

The idea that the Deuteros modes (second authentic and second plagal) of Greek liturgical chant already had a chromatic character before the end of the Byzantine era has gained wide acceptance in the last decades. Trying to go one step further and reconstruct the scales of these modes, the present article attempts a new interpretation of certain crucial passages in late Byzantine treatises, which can provide important clues, if interpreted in connection with the description of the modes in modern Greek music theory and their actual characteristics in the written and oral tradition. The resulting structures can serve as a basis for future transcriptions of chants, at least for the late and post-Byzantine repertory.
