Abstract | The Language Awareness Working Party is a task force of Great Britain's National Congress on Languages in Education (NCLE) concerned with individual and societal sensitivity to and conscious awareness of the nature of language and its role in human life. Its principal overall objective is the promotion of language awareness in a variety of forms serving these objectives: making students' knowledge of their native language explicit and conscious; strengthening study skills for native and foreign language study; increasing understanding of the nature and functions of language to improve communication; showing students' the rich variety of languages and dialects, including English and its forms; fostering better cross-cultural relations through linguistic understanding; bridging the gap between home language and school language; introducing upper-level secondary students to the concepts and principles of linguistics; improving reading skills; and imparting the value of language as part of human life. The task force's report outlines its origins, membership, activities, and recommendations for NCLE activities in research and information dissemination. A bibliography, a map of language awareness activities and a list of schools carrying out language awareness work are provided in the appendices. (MSE) |
