Abstract
Language is the medium through which
children talk to themselves and to others,
and it is with words that they begin to
construct and get a grip on their reality. The
ability to understand and use language clearly and
cogently is necessary for learning to take place.
Language is not only a means of communication - it is
also a medium through which most of our knowledge is
acquired. It is a system that, to a great extent,
structures the reality around us for representing it in
our minds - it is a marker of our identity in a variety of
ways and it is closely associated with power in society.
