Anthropology and Education
• Anthropology is the study of culture and its people. Education at its
core refers to the pursuit of knowledge. Since inherent learning
structures are a part of anthropology in terms of human development.
Then Education can be considered a primary feature of people and
their culture. In other words, without education, there would be no
possibility for people to persist in their cultural development and less
there would be less emphasis on studying cultural trends. 
Concept and Characteristics of Culture
• Culture is learned
• People have varied Culture
• Culture is a group product
• Culture is transmitted to generation to generation
• Culture is adaptive
THE DEVELOPMENT OF LANGUAGE 
What is Language?
A body of words and the systems for their use common to a people
who are the same community or nation.

"Language is a purely human and non-instinctive


"Language is a set of sounds with a particular method of communicating ideas, emotions and
meaning attached to each sound" (Horton and drives by means of a system of voluntarily produced
Hunt, 1980) symbols" (Santico and Panopio)

Language is not only a collection of sounds and utterances; it involves a set


of rules regarding pronunciation, grammar and semantics used in speech.
Body Language
Signs
is a significant aspect of modern
communications and relationships. It is also
the exchange of meanings through gestures
and body movements.

A language whether primitive, pre-literate or


modern-should possess grammar, syntax,
phonetics, vocabulary, among other things.
Oral and Written
Language
•Among developing countries of
the world, legends, songs, dances
and folklore are transmitted from
one generation to another by
means of word of mouth (oral
language)
•  The art of writing was developed
much later.
•  Writing has become the written
language of both ancient and
modern cultures of the world.
