What did we learn?

Upon finishing this chapter, let’s revisit some of the objectives and see if we met them. If not, I heavily suggest returning to that section and rereading it for understanding!

Section 1:

• I can understand and explain the differences between behaviorism, cognitivism, and constructivism

Section 2:

• I can understand and explain the differences between declarative and procedural knowledge
• I can give examples of declarative and procedural knowledge in my language(s)

Section 3:

• I can describe my learning style
• I can understand the importance of knowing my learning style

Section 4:

• I can understand and explain the differences between implicit and explicit language learning\

Section 5:

• I can understand and explain the differences between grammar-translation, audiolingual, and communicativist teaching methods
• I can explain the possible positives and negatives of these three teaching methods

If you haven’t already, go ahead and explain those concepts to yourself. If you find yourself struggling, reread the sections. Thank you for joining me on this short journey through various approaches to language learning. Now go out and apply this knowledge!
