Educational Role of Language

The book’s subject matter is consistent and cohesive and the issues it raises – well-arranged and thought over. Its entirety is focused on language and different ways of interpreting its role. It is presented dynamically, which signals the occurrence of subsequent publications concerning these issues. It includes extensive theoretical grounds and numerous examples of research. Not only neglected areas of children’s language education are shown, but also proposed directions of changes inspired by constructivism and the potential children themselves have.
