Whole language
A whole language is a method of teaching children to read at an early age that allows students to select their own reading matter and that emphasizes the use and recognition of words in everyday contexts. A student may learn a second language must better by learning through this approach. The way a child learns a second language may be enhanced by
using literature such as children’s books, short novels, autobiographies,
and other reading materials not developed for the language class. This type
of reading allow students to rely on their own purposes and goals while learning
a second language and taking into consideration the different audiences for
student writing (Schwarzer, n.d.).
Furthermore, a language is learned best when you learn it as a whole first and them attempt to learn the rest of it later.
As teachers we need to realize that more complex ideas are harder to understand as younger students. We should break the language up into parts so that the students can learn it as a whole. The way a child learns a second language may be enhanced by
