First Published in 2001. This book is for teachers and student teachers who are interested in language, in children's understanding of language and in the teacher's role in developing children's knowledge about language. It suggests activities for the primary classroom which help children to look at language, at how it is used and how it works. It contextualises the approaches underpinning these activities so that their intentions and purposes are made clear.
Part 1 Language, language education and linguistics: principles of language study; spoken language and written language. Part 2 Language activities: looking at language in children's literature; children's own language; working with words; working with texts.
