Abstract
Whole language is a philosophy, perspective, world view, or stance;
it is not a program of hierarchical components or methods. It is
a grass roots movement spearheaded by teachers with empowerment
of teachers and students as a central theme. Whole language is an
amalgam of theories, beliefs, perspectives, and research about language,
children, and learning drawn from a number of interrelated disciplines
such as linguistics, psychology, philosophy, and sociology. Further,
whole language is the perspective that learning occurs when information
is presented as a whole rather than divided into smaller components
and is thus meaningful; activities occur within a social context, and
the learner is active.
