LINGUISTIC EDUCATION IN SCHOOL: ARE WE TEACHING THE RIGHT THING?
https://doi.org/10.21603/2078-8975-2016-3-143-149
Abstract
The efficiency of linguistic education based on the code model of language is questioned. The view of written language as a representation of speech ignores the important difference between the experientially different cognitive domains of speech and writing, which affect human cognitive development. As a consequence, the growth of functional illiteracy in societies with established literate cultures becomes an alarming tendency.
