Cognitive code learning refers to a theory of second language teaching and learning developed in the 1960s based on two models: cognitivist psychology focusing on mental processes involved in knowledge acquisition, and generative grammar which looks at structural applied linguistics. It views language learning as a combination of skills developed through meaningful learning that builds on students' prior knowledge and relates new concepts to their experiences, avoiding rote memorization. The cognitive code approach advocates for students to take greater responsibility for their own learning by learning from errors and connecting new knowledge to what they already know.

6. Advantages
 There are advantages as well as
disadvantages of cognitive learning
theory.
 While the advantages it’s a good
foundation for elementary level, the
graph phonemic can be the best for
this level.
