Ember: Get the value of textarea from route

I want to get the value of the textarea to use inside my route. I tried using the method below, but the alert shows 'undefined' for that value. How would I go about getting the value of the textarea from the route? I am running the latest version of ember-cli.

Template

{{textarea type="text" value='name'}}
<button {{action 'submit'}} >Send</button>

Route

actions: {
    submit: function() { alert(this.get('name'));
    }   }
