Examples of a whole language approach
1. Using authentic texts and literature as the basis for instruction, rather than using contrived reading materials or exercises.
2. Emphasizing the importance of reading for meaning and comprehension, rather than just focusing on decoding skills.
3. Encouraging students to engage in activities like writing, speaking, and listening as part of learning language.
4. Connecting language instruction to real-world contexts and experiences, making it relevant and meaningful to students.
5. Providing opportunities for students to interact with language in a variety of ways, such as through discussions, debates, and collaborative projects.
6. Integrating language instruction across different subject areas, recognizing the interconnected nature of language and learning.
