Arousing the Sixth Emphasis within Humanism in English Language Teaching.

Kemp, John B.

ELT Journal, v48 n3 p243-52 Jul 1994

This article examines five emphases associated with humanism in language teaching, namely feelings, social relations, responsibility, intellect, and self-actualization, and some of the difficulties of using these emphases in teaching English as a Second Language (ESL) in Japan. A sixth emphases, religious humanism, may be added to address some of these difficulties. (12 references) (MDM)
