    Study Notes

    Language Teaching

    • Encompasses activities aimed at facilitating language learning
    • Includes formal instruction, individualized training, computer-assisted instruction, and self-study
    • Supporting activities include material preparation, grammar guides, teacher training, and administrative provisions

    Theory's Role

    • Underpins assumptions about practice
    • Guides course planning and classroom routines
    • Influences value judgments surrounding language teaching
    • Shapes daily decision-making for language teachers

    Theory's Impact

    • Becomes particularly evident in language teacher training, advising, curriculum planning, textbook development, program selection, and justifying equipment expenditure

    Campbell's Model of Theory-Practice Relationship

    • Outlines a relationship between linguistics, applied linguistics, and pedagogy
    • Linguistics theorists provide knowledge
    • Applied linguists act as mediators, translating knowledge for practitioners
    • Pedagogy practitioners implement the mediated knowledge

    Spolsky's Model of Educational Linguistics

    • Emphasizes 3 main sources of second language pedagogy:
      • Language Description
      • Theory of Language Learning
      • Theory of Language Use

    Ingram's Model for Developing Language Teaching Practice

    • Depicts a hierarchical model with fundamental sciences, principles of L2 learning, methodologies, and classroom teaching practice
    • Theoretical knowledge serves as a foundation for applied linguistics and ultimately classroom practice
    • Emphasizes the interconnectedness of theory and practice

    Evaluating Models

    • All models suggest a unidirectional flow from theory to practice
    • Lack emphasis on the practical feedback loop influencing theory development
