Using the Whole Language Approach to create meaning for young children by Ruth
Barnes, Manukau Institute of Technology, New Zealand. This interactive workshop explores
the whole language approach to developing children’s language. Advocating that language
learning is a whole life experience, best learnt when there is real purpose for the child.
Ruth explores using puppets, rhymes and magnetic stories to make language learning more
relevant, engaging and memorable for children.
