Tesol: Our Common Cause
The TESOL organization is at a stage in its development when it must actively solicit contributions from a variety of disciplines: linguistics, psychology, sociology, anthropology, and education. While such an interdisciplinary approach to problems has its dangers, particularly when allied to the goal of social and political relevance in the actions that follow, it is the only appropriate approach for the 1970's. TESOL will develop best as an org…
Reading: A Linguistic Perspective
Theories of Language Acquisition in Relation to Beginning Reading Instruction
Theories of Language Acquisition in Relation to Beginning Reading Instruction1
Various theories of language acquisition are discussed: behavioristic, nativistic, and cognitive. Linguistically-oriented theories are compared with learning-oriented theories, and four controversial issues of frequency of stimuli, imitation, expansion, and meaning are reviewed. The theories are all rather unsubstantial at present. Reading acquisition seems to be very different from language acquisition, and the theories of language acquisition a…
The Contrastive Analysis Hypothesis
The claim that the best language-teaching materials are based on a contrast of the two competing linguistic systems has long been a popular one in language teaching. It exists in strong and weak versions, the strong one arising from evidence from the availability of some kind of metatheory of contrastive analysis and the weak from evidence from language interference. The strong version of the hypothesis is untenable and even the weak version crea…
An Evaluative Comparison of Present Methods for Teaching English Phonology
The audiolingual approach to language teaching emphasizes certain kinds of necessary phonetic abilities. An appeal is made for the teaching of additional phonological facts of the type presented in Chomsky and Halle's The Sound Pattern of English. In such an approach, more attention would be paid to written English than before, particularly when teaching students who are adult, educated, and literate in their own language. Teaching materials shou…
Introduction to Linguistics
Tesol: Current Problems and Classroom Practices
This paper is devoted to a discussion of some of the current theoretical problems that we face in teaching English to speakers of other languages in order to relate the theory of teaching English as a second language to some current practices in teaching English as a second language. It attempts to bridge the gap between the practical orientation of teachers and the theoretical concerns that should underlie practice. We can never ignore theory in…
Linguistics, Psychology, and Pedagogy: Trinity or Unity
Linguistic Insights Into the Reading Process
Various linguists have put forward proposals for studying the reading process and for teaching reading. Bloomfield and Fries tried to use linguistic knowledge to devise a method of teaching reading based on a belief that children had to learn sound-symbol relationships in order to read. Venezky has proposed a model of the reading process which is something of a bridge between their work and that of Chomsky and Halle. The latter have proposed that…
Three approaches to contrastive phonological analysis
In Recent Years there has developed an increasing interest in the contrastive study of languages and in the theoretical principles underlying such study. As different pairs of languages are contrasted the problems inherent in contrastive analysis are more clearly revealed, and each new problem forces a re-examination of contrastive principles. Recent developments in grammatical theory, particularly the development of transformational-generative t…
