TEACHING LANGUAGE VS. TEACHING ABOUT LANGUAGE
Abstract
Linguistic labeling hinders the teaching of language. Teachers of English as a Second Language give too much emphasis to labeling and not enough to the skills of the language. Several examples are given to demonstrate the author's point. RÉSUMÉ Le catalogage linguistique entrave l'enseignement des langues. Les professeurs d'anglais langue seconde attachent trop d'importance au catalogage et pas assez aux aptitudes linguistiques. Plusieurs exemples servent à illustrer l'argumentation de l'auteur.Downloads
