PSYCHOLINGUISTICS PRINCIPLES TO TEACH ESL-EFL (original) (raw)

Psycholinguistics in Language Teaching: Current Vision

2020

A sa result of the vertiginous advance of sciences and the development of information technology, over the last three decades a multidisciplinary trend has been generated, which has allowed the integration of research designs that were previously far from fundamentality and methodology. This approach has allowed various disciplines to create possible methodological bridges between each other, thus facilitating the understanding of different phenomena. In relation to applied linguistics, in the sphere of language teaching there has been similar changes, which has led to a change of paradigms, with generative linguistics and cognitive psycholinguistics, being the most outstanding ones. The psycholinguistic model of language teaching is based on a set of multidisciplinary studies, which respond to the fundamentally objective methodological requirements – from the controlled manipulation of covert behaviors and intervening variablesto an evidence-based practice. In this article, a gener...

Issues in Teaching Speaking to EFL Learners

Education and Linguistics Research

Speaking as a skill constitutes a real hurdle to overcome by both the teacher and the learner. In other words, the teacher has to find appropriate procedures to help the learner with while the latter has to find a way to master the language. Thus, this article attempts to highlight the concept of speaking; likewise, it tries to deal with the issues relevant to the appropriate teaching of speaking to learners of English as a foreign language (EFL) such as consciousness-raising strategies and oral error correction.

The theories have been used in the field of language teaching. Some experts use them as the basic theories in developing language teaching methods. It is known as psycholinguistics approach. Psycholinguistic approach views learning as a cognitive individual process happening within the individual and then moves to the social dimension. As an approach, there are some methods which were developed based on psycholinguistics theories such as natural method, total physical response method, and suggestopedia method. These methods apply psycholinguistic principles that how a person acquires his/her mother tongue or first language (First Language Acquisition), learns his/her second or third language (Second Language Learning), perceives a language (Language Perception), and produces language (Language Production). Language perception refers...
