Whole Language Theory as a Means of Teaching a Second Language.
This paper explores the whole language theory from its fundamental beliefs and creation through its use in modern day linguistics. This paper demonstrates that the whole language theory method promotes a more advanced level of reading and language comprehension in students than traditional methods of procedural teaching such as phonics recognition. An emphasis is provided to how whole language theory techniques aid readers learning English as a second language, as these patterns more closely reflect natural conversational patterns. 8 pgs.
