Whole Language Is Not a Room Arrangement; It's a Controversy.
Queenan, Margaret Lally
English Journal, v85 n2 p26-31 Feb 1996
Describes the whole language "way of being" from the perspective of a department chair teaching remedial 9th-grade and honors 12th-grade students. Considers how whole language fits into standardized testing programs, what students take away from whole language, what its general characteristics are, and how it fits with student learning patterns and needs.
