COMMUNICATIVE
APPROACH:
PHILOSOPHICAL
FOUNDATIONS
It represents a revolution
in thought regarding
language teaching. Insted
of the more traditional
viewpoint of behaviorism,
constructivism serves as
the theoretical foundation
of the communicative
approach.
Constructivism
represent a
theoretical body of
literature that views
the human brain as
having certain
fundamental
structures of
understanding that
enable it to draw
meaning from
experience (Kukla,
2000; Searle, 1995).
Vygotsky (1978)
started
The mastering of
nature
and
the
mastering
of
behavior
are
mutually
linked,
just
as
mans
alteration of nature
alters mans own
nature.
He claimed that the
interaction between
thought and
language leads to
higher-order
thinking.
Social constructivists
believe that
interpersonal
interaction leads to
language and
cognitive development
and that all learning is
socially constructed
(Derry, 1999;
Hacking, 2000;
Vygotsky, 1978.)
VYGOTSKY
1978
Optimal learning occurs
in a zone of proximal
development, the gap
between what a learner
already knows and the
upper limit of what a
learner can accomplish
with expert assistance
Behaviorist
believe
that
learning
accurs
through
enviromental
stimuli
and
a
learners
responses
to
those stimuli.
The
social
constructivists
believe
that
learning occurs
as a result of
interactions
between
the
environment and
the
learners
mind.
SOCIAL

VIST
BELIEVE:
learning

environment
and the
learners
mind.
CHOMSKY
(1986)
People are born with a
genetically predetermined
capacity to learn language also
contributed to the foundation
of the communicative
approach.
Chomsky proposed that all
people are born with a
language acquisition device
(LAD) that serves as an
inherent
mental
system
specifically
devoted
to
language development.
