Unit 1 Language and Language Learning
Aims of the unit
In this unit we will discuss some general matters about language learning
and teaching. We are going to discuss five questions on particular:
1. How do we learn language?
2. What are the common views on language?
3. What are the common views on language learning?
4. What are the qualities of a good language teacher?
5. How can one become a good language teacher?
1.1 How do we learn languages?
Mach of human behavior is influenced by their experiences. The way
language teachers teach in the classroom is to some extent influenced by
the way they learned languages. This is especially true in foreign
language teaching. Before we discuss language learning theories, let us
first reflect on our own language learning experience.
Task 1
Below is a list of interview questions on how people learn a foreign
language. In the first column, write down your own responses. Then
interview three other students in your class and enter their responses
in the other columns. Discuss your findings in group of 4 and draw some
conclusion.
You ST1 ST2 ST3
1. How many foreign languages can you speak so far?
2. When did you start learning the foreign
language(s)?
3. How do you feel about learning a foreign
language?
4. What difficulties have you experienced in
learning?
5. Which skill do you find more difficult to learn?
6. Have you focused on knowledge or skills? Why?
7. Why do you learn the foreign language(s)?
8. Do you consider yourself a successful learner?
Why?
9. What are your most common learning activities?
10. Do you like the way you learned the foreign
language(s)?
From the above task, you may have found that 1) people started learning
a foreign language at different ages; 2) people have different experiences
in learning a foreign language, some find it easy, some find it difficult;
3) people learn languages for different reasons; 4) people learn languages
in different ways; 5) people have different understandings about language
learning; 6) people have different capacities in language learning; 7)
learning can be affected by the way it is taught; 8) learning is affected
by the degree of success one is expected to achieve; and more. Thus the
challenge confronting language teaching is how teaching methodology can
ensure successful learning by all the learners who have more differences
than the commonality.
