Is the traditional method of language learning effective?<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

How is it possible that we can spend several years learning a language and ultimately not be able to use it to communicate with others? <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Why is it that even with perfect knowledge of grammatical rules we cannot speak fluently?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

How is it that we have knowledge of language but are unable to use it? <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Language learning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The traditional model of language learning assumes language learning<\/strong> ,<\/em>
and not language acquisition<\/strong> .<\/p><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditional model<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
<\/i>

Theoretical foundations of language. <\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/i>

Learning grammatical rules.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/i>

Verb conjugation tables and vocabulary lists.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/i>

Textbook and exercises.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/i>

Linear learning. We work through a chapter and 'move on'. <\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In the traditional model, one usually learns a language by first listening to the teacher's theories and explanations (often in the mother tongue) and then practising the issue with examples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Language is often treated as static matter that can be encapsulated into rules and learned by heart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which path leads to fluidity? <\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

METHOD<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Language acquisition<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

According to Dr Stephen Krashen's theory: We all acquire languages in the same way.<\/strong>
We acquire a language through exposure to comprehensible content in that language. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other words, when we understand what we hear. We call it - <\/em>Comprehensible input (CI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Theory of Language Acquisition<\/strong> (SLA – Second Language Acquisition)<\/em>, when we understand what we hear, the brain decodes the new language and creates a mental map of it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We assimilate language by listening to content that we understand and interacting with it naturally. We do not acquire a language by learning its theoretical foundations and completing exercises. This model of learning does not lead to fluency in the language.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
