BACKGROUND

As language teachers, we have long been

engage in scientific approaches to foreign

language teaching methodology based on

experimentation and research on linguistic,

psychological, and pedagogical foundations.

RESEARCH QUESTION

What are the learning principles of foreign

language teaching ?

UNDERLYING THEORY

Behaviorism

• Watson (1913) deriving from Pavlov’s findings has named the term behaviorism.

• Skiner’s Verbal behavior (1957) language as a system of verbal operants.

Cognitivism • David Ausubel’s

book Cognitive view (1968) there are two types of learning, rote learning and meaningful learning.

• Clark and Clark, (1977) material learned in a meaningful way is acquired in a non-arbitrary and a non-verbatim fasion.

Humanism • Rogers in Brown

(1980) human being is a whole person who not only has physic and cognition, but more importantly has feeling and emotion.

• Stevick (1987) learning, particularly the learning of language is an emotional experience.

The Implication and Learning Theory in foreign language teaching methods

Behaviorism Cognitivism Humanism

Audiolingual Method

Cognitive Code Learning

Communicative Lang Teaching

IMPLICATION

A. Behaviorism (Rivers, 1964; Hutchison, 1980).Never translate

New language should always be dealt within the sequent : hear, speak, read and write.

B. Cognitivism (Ausubel, 1968; Chastain, 1976).The learners comprehend the material

They can relate the material to their present knowledge system in a non-arbitrary and non-verbatim manner;

C. Humanism ( Brown (1980:77) He must be genuine and real, putting away the impression of

superiority or omniscience. He must have trust or acceptance from his students as

valuable individuals.

RESEARCH FINDINGS

A. Behaviorism emphasizes a conditioning

process in order learning may take place.

B. Cognitivism requires a meaningful cognitive

process for learning to take place.

C. Humanism focuses on a conductive text for

learning, a non-threatening environment where

learners can freely learn what they need to.

CONCLUSION

Behaviorism, Cognitivism and Humanism

are the learning principles, each of the

theory is relatable to the learning of a

second language and each of them has its

own concept of learning.
