A Student-centered Language Arts Curriculum, Grades K-13: A Handbook for TeachersThis book offers a curriculum based on a "naturalistic" approach "whereby students learn essentially by doing and receiving feedback." Most of the book is devoted to guiding the student from a posture of simply receiving language to one in which he uses, experiences, and produces it. The summary of principles in the book's introduction indicates that the curriculum emphasizes thinking skills, writing from personal experience, self-awareness, sequential development, trial-and-error learning, small-group interaction, and language as a social act.--Publisher's description. |
