Whole Language
A pedagogical method and philosophy, where the focus is on recognizing the whole word as a unit for pronunciation and how that unit works within a whole text, i.e., the semantics of the word within the pragmatics of the context. This contrasts with a more phonics-based instruction method. (language acquisition)
