Question

Explain the whole language approach and illustrate with examples of how it can be employed in a language lesson

Answer 1

The whole language Approach refers to the understanding of what language is, and how it can be learned. It teaches children to read by using strategies that show how language is a system of parts that work together to create meaning. The whole language approach acknowledges that the reading outcomes of learners are created by how learners are taught to read. It can be employed in class through dialogue journals, writing conferences among students, and engaging students to have student-made books.
