| Rezumat: | The purpose of this presentation has been to show the relevance of the linguistic studies to a number of practical tasks connected with language teaching. The guiding principle has been to refer to those articles and books which may offer some particular insights into language, its use and how it is learned,which is relevant to language teaching. Language teaching is a complex and many-sided process; it involves many considerations, alternatives which, even if we are aware of them, cannot be measured. This is why the activity of language teaching cannot be modeled or reduced to a set of logically related procedures. Having in view that not all the alternatives are known, there are other factors which must be taken into account in any teaching task, such as : the personality of the students, their aptitude, their intellectual capacities, their motivation towards learning. All these have been investigated by educational psychologists. There is also an important amount of knowledge about the nature of human language, about how it is learned and what part it plays in the life of the individual and the community. Linguists should have all these in mind when planning a language-teaching programme, providing a growing body of scientific knowledge about language which can guide the activity of the language teacher. The application of linguistic knowledge to some object, or applied linguistics, is an activity and not a theoretical study. The applied linguist is a user, not a producer of theories. Language teaching is also an activity, even if teaching languages do not coincide with applied linguistics. If someone interprets language teaching in the broadest sense, including all the planning and decision-making taking place outside the classroom, then there is an element of applied linguistics in language teaching. The presentation may be said to be about applied linguistics in language teaching, about the aspects of the language teaching process in which decisions are made to take into consideration the nature of human language , how it is learned and its role in society. Generally, linguistics gives us a background for describing what we mean by “skill in” , and “knowledge of” a language and makes it possible to demonstrate that one way of teaching is more effective than another for achieving a particular aim with a particular group of learners. |
