An overview of the bookphysical context in which language learning takes place, such as the number of students, the kind of input learners receive, and the atmosphere. Some researchers attempt to formulate teaching approaches directly from these theories. For example, the Natural Approach, Total Physical Response, and the Silent Way are based on one or more dimensions of processes and conditions.Some researchers attempt to formulate teaching approaches directly from these theories.1.The behaviorist theory( Skinner)a stimulus-response theory of psychologyProposed by behavioral psychologist Skinner. He suggested that language is also a form of behavior. It can be learned the same way as an animal is trained to respond to stimuli. This theory of learning is referred to as behaviorism.The key point of the theory of conditioning is that “you can train an animal to do anything (within reason) if you follow a certain procedure which has three major stages, stimulus, response, and reinforcement，，One influential result is the audio-lingual method, which involves endless ‘listen and repeat’ drilling activities. The idea of this method is that language is learned by constant repetition and the reinforcement of the teacher. Mistakes were immediately corrected, and correct utterances were immediately praised. This method is still used in many parts of the world today.2.Cognitive theory( Noam Chomsky):The term cognitive is to describe loosely methods in which students are asked to think rather than simply repeat.A language learner acquires language competence which enables him to produce language.Though Chomsky’s theory is not directly applied in language teaching, it has had a great impact on the profession.One influential idea is that students should be allowed to create their own sentences based on their understanding of certain rules. This idea is clearly in opposition to the audio-lingual method.3.Constructivist theoryThe constructivist theory believes that learning is a process in which the learner constructs meaning based on his / her own experiences and what he / she already knows.It is believed that education is used to develop the mind, not just to rote recall what is learned.John Dewey believed that teaching should be built based on what learners already knew and engage learners in learning activities. Teachers need to design environments and interact with learners to foster inventive, creative, critical learners.4.Socio-constructivist theorySimilar to constructivist theory, socio-constructivist theory represented by Vygotsky (1978) emphasises interaction and engagement with the target language in a social context based on the concept of ‘Zone of Proximal Development，(ZPD) and scaffolding. In other words, learning is best achieved through the dynamic interaction between the teacher and the learner and between learners.质和实体语境，如学生的数量、氛围等。
1.行为主义学习理论刺激-反应的心理理论由行为心理学家Skinner提出，他认为，语言也是一种行为，动物经过训练对刺激有反应，人类也可以一样。
一个有影响力的结果是听说法。
听说法提出以口语为中心，以句型或结构为纲的听说教学法的主张，教材用会话形式表述，强调模仿、强记固定短语并大量重复，极其重视语音的正确，尤其强调语调训练，广泛利用对比法、在对比分析母语与外语的基础上学习外语的难点，并在教学中有针对性地加以解决。
2.认知学习理论认知法把语言学习看作是智力活动。
认知法提出：任何语言里的句子都是无穷无尽的，人不可能学到每一个句子，但在学习的过程中，却能听懂和应用从未学过或见过的句子，这就是智力或语法在起作用。
在教学中强调发挥智力的作用，让学生理解所学的材料，掌握语言的运用规律，强调有意义的操练活动。
3.建构主义理论建构主义认为：学习过程是学习者依据自己头脑里已有的经验对学习进行主动的意义建构。
