Dear Rebecca, dear all,
as one example I know of, Systemic Functional Linguistics (e.g., Frances Christie, Mary Schleppegrell) has done a lot of work on educational linguistics, both analysing the language of the classroom and - more relevant to your question - devising ways to empower learners and teachers through teaching explicit linguistic knowledge to be used functionally in written and oral texts. Much of this work came out of a desire to help L2 students cope with academic work but turned out to be useful to everybody regardless of their background. One particular literacy approach that was developed within this framework in Australia is "Reading to Learn" (or R2L), with a set of publications meant for teaching at various primary and secondary levels (and directly linking reading to writing) but also at least one textbook for university courses, Working with Discourse: Meaning Beyond the Clause by Jim (J. R.) Martin and David Rose.
Hope this can be of use, excited about my first contribution to the TeachLing community!
Monika
