Behaviourist Perspective

Behaviorist theory dominated both psychology


and linguistics in the 1950's. This theory
explained learning in terms of imitation,
practice, reinforcement (or feedback on
success), and habit formation

The Cognitive
Perspective
Cognitivists claimed that the conditions for learning
language are the same conditions that are necessary
for any kind of learning. They believed that human
beings have the capacity for developing logical
thinking. Acquiring knowledge is a cognitive process
which involves automatic processing (rountinzed) and
controlled (temporary) learning.

The Sociocultural Perspective

In Vygotskyan theory, greater


importance is attached to the
conversations themselves, with learning
occuring through the social interaction.
Sociocultural theory holds that people
gain control of and reorganize their
cognitive processes during mediation as
knowledge is internalized during social
activity.

Conclusion
There are four theories for explaining Second Language Learning, such as
behaviorist perspective, innatist perspective, cognitive perspective and
sociocultural perspective. All theories of language acquisition are intended
to account for is the ability of human learners to acquire language within a
variety of social and instructional environments
