Approaches to Second/Foreign Language Teaching.

Language used to be an intellectual challenge ( Latin, the traditional, grammar translation approach).

At the beginning of the 20 th century the first machine to teach language was designed.

In 1973 Claude Shannon formulated his information theory which had some influence on structural linguistics.

The term “Applied Linguistics” was

used for first time in the USA.

Skinner’s book “The Science of Learning and Art of Teaching”

the founder of Behaviorism was John Watson in 1925.

In 1957 “ Syntactic Structures” by Noam Chomsky was published.

In 1961 the first language laboratory was established in an educational institution in the UK. The Audiolingual approach emphasized the spoken rather than the written form. In 1963 C. Gastagno published the silent way. In 1966, the TESOL association was formed. In the 70s the “communicative approach was born”. Total Physical Response approach was born in 1977.

At the beginning of the century tend to lend much of this methodology ton psychology. André martinet did a lot of good to the cause of language learning in modern Europe. Pike recieves a tribute on the SIL (summer institue of linguitics) Web Site.

Unlike CALL, linguistics has a history behind, as it goes back at least to Greek philosophers such as Plato. Modern linguistics has its roots in 19th century.

In the past methods tended to speacialize in the technique. However, it is now believed that successful LL involves competence. There are now many researchers involved in CALL. The situational approach (Krashen) attempted to teach language in a situational context

There are now many researchers involved in CALL.

The situational approach (Krashen) attempted to teach language in a situational context

The most important element of Krashen’s theory is the stress on the availability of comprehensible input. The whole approach was based in the idea that babies acquire language by actually using it.
