Linguistic and Cultural Aspects of Second Language Acquisition: Investigating Literature/Literacy as an Environmental Factor.

Mitchell, Claudia

Canadian Modern Language Review, v46 n1 p73-82 Oct 1989

Drawing on recent research in first language study and curriculum development, a framework is presented for considering the significance of print in providing informal contact with the target second language. A theoretical rationale for exploring culture and language within a whole-language, literature-based context is provided. (25 references) (Author/MSE)
