The Reflections on the View of Language as a Tool in Foreign Language Teaching & Learning

In the research on Western language philosophy ,Prof.Qian queries the theory that language has been defined as a tool and makes us know more about language and its nature. The reflections on the view of language as a tool will not only shed light upon the true nature of language, but also have positive implications for language teaching. This paper argues that language teaching and learning may improve a lot if we don't take language just as a tool.
