What Every Single Teacher Should Know About Language...but May Not

Based on the recognition that all teachers are involved in language development regardless of the students' ages or the teachers' subject matter interests, this text augments descriptions of language characteristics with appropriate classroom implications. Topics of chapters are: the nature of language, descriptions of the sound and grammatical systems of American English, language development as observed in children, reading in perspective, what a child learns when he learns to use written language, and processes of language change. Appendixes contain material on behaviors which may contribute to or be a part of all learning; oral and written language; the neurological impress method of teaching reading; the visual, auditory, kinesthetic, tactile (vakt) procedures; and directed reading thinking activity (drta) procedures. An annotated bibliography and list of suggested readings concludes the text. (Jm).
