Modern linguist exponents of it have preferred to
call the new approach to language in the curriculum
‘awareness of language’ (AOL) rather than the
alternative, later adopted by English teachers and in
government papers, ‘knowledge about language’
(KAL) because they felt that ‘knowledge about’
carried a hint of merely conveying information, of
‘filling up pots’. Clearly ‘knowledge about’ must be
a part of the apprenticeship but becoming aware
conveyed better the intention to awaken pupils’
minds to the power of language both to inform and to
mislead (as with clever political propaganda, use of
‘loaded words’ in advertising, or hidden prejudices
about class, race or belief, cf. Hawkins 1999 p. 274).
AOL sought to awaken pupils’ minds to such aspects
of language, which they might otherwise leave
unexamined. This approach, ‘awakening to
languages’, was captured by our French colleagues,
when, after some discussion (possible alternatives
are discussed on p.19 of Candelier 2003), they called
