Study Notes
Piaget's Cognitive Development
- Children in the Concrete Operational Stage can think logically but struggle with abstract concepts.
- In the Preoperational Stage (ages 2-7), children begin to think more logically, yet still may not fully grasp abstract reasoning.
Cooperative Learning
- Emphasizes collaboration among students to complete tasks.
- Each student is individually accountable for their contribution and the overall outcome.
Vygotsky's Sociocultural Theory
- Posits that humans have an innate ability to acquire language.
- Highlights the significance of social interaction in cognitive development.
Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL)
- Integrates language learning with content learning, emphasizing a structured curriculum.
- Teachers provide pre-planned syllabi to guide students' language and content development.
Task-Based Instruction
- Focus shifts to the end product of learning rather than the learning process itself.
- Encourages practical application and real-world relevance in educational tasks.
Discourse-Based Instruction
- The teacher's role is mainly as a knowledge transmitter.
- Prioritizes the transmission of information over facilitation of interactive learning experiences.
Berlitz Method
- Rooted in behaviorism, aiming for language acquisition through repetition and reinforcement.
- Focuses on conversational skills in immersive language environments.
Humanist Approach
- Stresses the significance of grammar rules and the practice of translation in learning.
- Aims to develop the whole person, facilitating personal growth along with language skills.
Constructivist Approach
- Teachers provide learners with pre-constructed knowledge, guiding them to build understanding.
- Encourages active participation in the learning process, fostering individual discovery.
Communicative Approach
- Targets the development of higher-order thinking skills and problem-solving abilities in language learners.
- Encourages interactive communication in realistic contexts for effective language use.
Social-constructivist Approach
- Centers on the teacher providing ready-made answers to facilitate learning.
- Emphasizes collaborative knowledge construction within social contexts.
