Mistakes were immediately corrected.StimulusResponseReinforcementPositiveNegativeViews on language learning(1)The importance of environment Environment OrganismViews on language learning(2)Cognitive (Mentalist) theory: Language is not a form of behaviour. It is rule-based system and learning is a creative process in which Ss are asked to think rather than simply repeat. Emphasizes mind consciousness.Chomsky (1928-, American linguist)Views on language learning(2)The importance of organism Environment OrganismThe impact of Chomskys theory on language teachingCognitive code approach: based on the belief that language learning is a process which involves active mental processes and not simply the forming of habits. It gives importance to the learners active part in the process of using and learning rules. Although it has not led to any particular method of language teaching, the Communicative Approach makes some use of cognitive code principles. (Richards, et al. 2000: 74)Views on language learning(3)Constructivist theory: Learning is a process in which the learner constructs meaning based oh his/her own experiences and what he/she already knows.John Dewey (1859-1952, America)Teaching should be built based on what learners already knew and engage learners in learning activities.Views on language learning(4)Socio-constructivist theory Emphasizes interaction & engagement with the TL in a social context based on Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD). 教学必须要考虑学习者已达到的水平并要走在学习者发展的前面，为此就要确定学习者的发展水平。学习者发展有两种水平：一是现有的发展水平，二是在有指导的情况下借助外界的帮助可以达到的解决问题的水平，或是借助于他人的启发帮助可以达到的较高水平。这两者之间的差距，即学习者现有水平与经过他人帮助可以达到的较高水平之间的差距，就是“最近发展区”或称为“邻近发展区”，而有效的学习应该是在学习过程中，让学习者始终保持在“最近发展区”中活动。Learning is best achieved through the dynamic interaction btwn the T & the learner & btwn learners.Vygostsky (Soviet, 18961934) Views How Ss learn languageBehaviorist theorySkinnerLearning : process of habit formation & conditioning.Language is learned by repetition and the reinforcement of the TCognitive theoryChomskyLearning : creative process , Ss are asked to thinkSs: allow to create their own sentences based on their understanding of certain rules.Constructivist theoryDeweyLearning : process in which the learner constructs meaning based oh his/her own experiences and what he/she already knowsTeaching should be built based on what learners already knew and engage learners in learning activities.Socio-constructivist theoryVygotskyEmphasizes interaction & engagement with the TL in a social context based on Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD).Learning is best achieved through the dynamic interaction between the T & the learner & between learners.Discussion:nWhat is a teacher?nWhat is teaching?nWhat is learning ?nWhat makes a good language teacher?nHow can one become a good language teacher?Three people in a group, one must be my teacher.My teacher for a day is a partner for a lifetime.A teacher is the one who teaches the students morally, intellectually and dispels their doubts.
