Semantics in Foreign Language Teaching

Danesi, Marcel

Canadian Modern Language Review, 31, 4, 320-324, Mar 75

Foreign language teaching concentrates on phonology, morphology and syntax, to the neglect of semantics and vocabulary. The method of teaching meaning that is proposed here is based on the concepts of "contextual" semantics. An experiment in the use of the method is also briefly described. (KM)
