Sociolinguistics: A New Approach to Language.
Keller, Joseph
Improving College and University Teaching, v27 n1 p15-18 Win 1979
It is suggested that the teaching of English will be benefited when future teachers are trained to view the mechanisms of their language from the standpoint of the total function of these mechanisms in human interaction. Linguistics must be taught with reference to the social bases of speech and to its primary purpose, the achievement of understanding. (JMD)
