- Summary:
-
Ten principles based on the interactive nature of language learning and teaching include the following: (1) the student is the language learner; (2) language learning and teaching are shaped by student needs and objectives in particular circumstances; (3) language learning and teaching are based on normal uses of language, with communication of meanings (in oral and written form) to all basic strategies and techniques; (4) classroom relations reflect mutual liking and respect, allowing for both teacher personality and student personality in a non-threatening atmosphere of cooperative learning; (5) basic to language use are knowledge of language and control of language; (6) development of language control proceeds through creativity, which is nurtured by interactive, participatory activities; (7) every possible medium and modality is used to aid learning; (8) testing is an aid to learning; (9) language learning is penetrating another culture: students learn to operate harmoniously within another culture or in contact with another culture; and (10) the real world extends beyond the classroom walls; language learning takes place in and out of the classroom.
