A Whole Language Approach for Foreign Language Writing Using Computers by Sister

The Nile on eBay   A Whole Language Approach for Foreign Language Writing Using Computers by Sister Doloretta Dawid

In her work the author has selected the whole language approach as her theorectical underpinning for helping students to learn to write using technology. The whole language approach encourages students to extend themselves based on the premise that langugae is acquired through active use. Learning a language necessarily involves social interaction and the process of writing is a part of this interaction.Since the author's experience through many years of teaching has shown that there is no single method to be used when teaching and learning a foreign language, the author has focused on ameliorating student motivation using any methodologies possible. Experimentation and study thus led her to use the whole language approach with computers and the internet to help her students improve their writing skills, engaging them in writing in a second language, and motivating them for greater success in their language learning.
