THEORETICAL CONSIDERATIONS IN LANGUAGE EDUCATION
Implications for English Language Teaching
English Language Teaching (ELT) is a field that
has not produced its own theories. Instead, the
field has been influenced by and has borrowed
theories from other branches of social sciences,
such as psychology, linguistics, sociology,
anthropology, and educational sciences. The
diversity of theories in social sciences is a great
advantage to ELT as there are many applicable
and meaningful theories from its related fields
that have the potential to enhance the practices
of language teaching professionals and
researchers around the world.
