Brief Introduction to Language Learning Theories
摘要 近年来，新的外语学习方法不断涌现。他们通常宣称比之前出现的那些方法更有效，而且，在许多情况下，这些方法被推广甚至被规定立即使用。新方法可能反映了当前的趋势。那么一个教师如何评价这些新方法的潜在有效性？对这个评价的一个重要基础当然是教师自身成功或失败的经验。此外，教师了解一些最近的发现可以帮助判断新的语言学习方法是否可以为学生的学习带来积极的改变。这篇关于语言是如何学习的论文是为外语教学的教师而写的。我们相信在二语习得研究中的发现及理论观点可以帮助教师评估不同的语言教学方法。

Abstract Every few years, new foreign language teaching methods arrive on the scene. They are usually proclaimed to be more effective than those that have gone before, and, in many cases, these methods are promoted or even prescribed for immediate use. New methods may reflect current trends. How is a teacher to evaluate the potential effectiveness of new methods? One important basis for this evaluation is, of course, the teacher’ own experience with previous successes or disappointments. In addition, teachers who are informed about some of the findings of recent research are prepared to judge whether the new proposals for language are likely to bring about positive changes in students’ learning. This paper about how languages are learned has been written for second and foreign language teachers. We believe that information about findings and theoretical views in second language acquisition research can help teachers evaluate claims made various language teaching methods.
Key words: language acquisition, first language learning, second language learning, second language acquisition
