About this title

Synopsis

The contributors to this book believe that language should be the central focus for study in the reading and language arts classroom and that gaining mastery over language can be stimulating , enlightening, and enjoyable. The text presents 10 diverse viewpoints on language study that are divided into the following areas: studying language through literature and the arts, using writing and speaking to study language, language use in different academic settings, and emerging trends in language study. All the chapters recommend that language study be connected to students' lives in visceral as well as rational ways.
