Abstract

Since the emergence of speech some 50,000 years ago, language has been the principal means through which humans have organized their activities together, reflected on them, and passed on their knowledgeable skills to successive generations. Language is thus the basis of culture and at the same time the mediator of each individuals social and intellectual development. As Halliday states, “When children learn language, they are not simply engaging in one type of learning among many; rather, they are learning the foundations of learning itself. Hence the ontogenesis of language is at the same time the ontogenesis of learning"(1993a, p.93). This remains true in school, where writing adds another important medium for learning.
