Critical-Interpretive Explorations of Innovative Language Arts Practices at the Elementary School Level.

Jardine, David W.; Field, James C.

Canadian Journal of Education, v16 n2 p206-09 Spr 1991

A proposed research project is described in which two university-based researchers and four elementary school teachers will investigate problematic features of "whole language instruction" in monthly reflexive conversations. One hypothesis is that problems with whole language practice are indicative of a more broadly based cultural malaise. (SLD)
