Language Routines for Developing Listening and Speaking Competencies Victor Shen STUST, May 2015
Language Experience Approach The approach integrates the language arts skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The steps: – (1) oral expression by the child with another person acting as a recorder, – (2) oral expression with a recorder doing most of the writing and the student making some contribution, – (3) writing by the student with the aid of the teacher or another person, and – (4) writing by the student alone. (Galloway & Gray, 1976)
