مستخلص: It is proposed that through the use of whole language techniques, an English-as-a-Second-Language (ESL) teacher can incorporate holistic language situations into the ESL classroom and advance the student's acquisition of a second language. Whole language techniques such as spontaneous conversation, brainstorming with semantic maps, dialogue journals, and writing folders are described. Student work samples provide illustrations. It is concluded that by including a whole language system in the ESL classroom, a teacher can teach all four language skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing), thereby maximizing the use of instructional time and exposing students to a large amount of language in many different forms.
