Educational Role of Language Skills

The book is designed with several key objectives in mind. It aims to close the existing gap between linguistic research and educational practices, focusing specifically on the quartet of widely acknowledged language skills. Additionally, it seeks to present various, sometimes conflicting, viewpoints on how general education and language education interrelate. The text situates its discussion within a broader framework, emphasizing the educational significance of language by referencing a range of collaborative efforts with linguists and educators worldwide. Furthermore, it delves into the importance of language skills in education, treating this exploration as a natural progression from earlier analyses on the interconnection between language and pedagogy, effectively continuing an earlier work that defined the parameters of studies linking linguistics and education.
