LINGUISTIC PHILOSOPHY
Is the approach to philosophy common in the mid 20th
century that tends to see philosophical problems as
arising from inappropriate theoretical use of language and
therefore as being resolved by detailed attention to the
common use of expressions.

WHY TEACH?
•To develop the communication skills of
the learner

WHAT TO TEACH?
•Learners should be taught to communicate
clearly
•Communication takes place in three ways:
verbal, non-verbal and paraverbal
• Verbal – the content of our message, the
choice and arrangement of our words. This
can be oral or written.
• Nonverbal – the message we send through
body language.
• Paraverbal – refers to how we say what we
say – tone, pacing and volume of our voices.
HOW TO TEACH?
• Teach language and communication through experiential
way.
• Make the classroom a place for the interplay of minds
and hearts.
• Facilitate dialogue among learners because in the
exchange of words there is also an exchange of ideas.

their relationship.

learner and the teacher.
