I partly agree with Higgins and Johns (1984) that deciding how to teach a language is conditioned by one's view of what language consists of and what kind of a person the learner is. Looking at the historical development of foreign language teaching, you will see that the following views exist and play an important part in language classroom teaching.

In his suggestions to adult learners of English, Charles Fries (1945) suggests that the student's mimicry of native speakers must extend to their tones, gestures, facial expressions and in general. their whole manner of speaking. This kind of unrelenting practice and use is at first extremely hard and students might feel as if they are bound in straightjackets. But the only way to attain competence in a new language is through this struggle.1

We have recently had a government campaign in Britain to make us all aware of the information revolution, for "there's no future without it".1 We were asked to think what part split-second processing, transmission and presentation of information might play in our workaday lives and at home. From many sides the message seems to be that if we do not voluntarily participate in the computer revolution then it will be forced upon those who have spurned or tried to avoid this particular advance. So far access to computers has been limited but they may soon be almost as common as …
Listening Comprehension-The Crossroads Of Language And Psychology, Joseph P. Boyle
Listening Comprehension-The Crossroads Of Language And Psychology, Joseph P. Boyle
PASAA
While there is general agreement that listening comprehension should figure more in language teaching programmes nowadays, there is considerable confusion about the nature and best method of teaching it. The large number of disciplines which feel listening comprehension belongs to them should be a warning to us of the complex nature of the subject. Language teachers claim it as part of their domain, since clearly they must teach their pupils to understand the foreign language before they can hope to get very far; psycholinguists claim it, because they say it involves an analysis of mental processes; linguists maintain that their …

In recent years, a change in the study of language and language teaching and learning has been directed from a formal to a functional approach. The signs of this change can be seen in some current issues in language teaching or linguistics such as Communicative Competence; new language teaching methods like the Silent Way, Individualized Instruction, English for Special Purposes, Interlanguage and Error Analysis.

Most of us, and most of our learners, have at some time had the experience of listening to an announcement through the public address system, at an airport or a railway station, and we know how difficult it is to understand it. Because, however, we know how to deal with the redundancies of language we more often than not manage to filter out the information we require, in spite of background noise, distortion and other interference. If that same announcement is in a language other than our own the result is quite different.* Even those of us who consider ourselves …

"Toponymy" seems to be a little know subdivision of onomastics, the broader field of the study of names in general, i.e. of the vocabulary of a language. "Toponym" means simply "place name", and "toponymy" has been defined as "the study of linguistic designations for places and other aspects of geographical reference" (Hymes 1964 : 176). As Hymes says, the interest in place names is often one of historical or local curiosity as when, for example, someone might be heard to query, "How did that place ever get to be called เส้าไห้ saw5 haj3 ?", or "Why is this area called …

Quite often that teachers of English hear comments from Thai students on the difficulty of vocabulary in reading comprehension It is understood that reading comprehension involves the knowledge of the language within the sentence and the understanding of the text features beyond the sentence (discourse). The knowledge of the world the reader brings with him also contributes to comprehension.

The Soviet psychologist, Vygotsky, likens the comparative difficulty for a child in acquiring speech and writing to the difficulty he finds in learning arithmetic and algebra respectively. All children learn to speak and express themselves effectively at roughly the same age, even though some may be more articulate than others. On the other hand, many people never learn to express themselves freely in writing. And this is their native language. The old saying : "If you can say it you can write it" is simplistic in its concept of communicative writing. On the other hand, "He talks like a book" …
