Importance of Rote Learning in Achieving Success in Formal L2 Acquisition Emirhan Dulan Research Methodology Ass .Prof. Dr Irina Rets Sakarya University English Language Teaching Department Abstract In the 21st century, every school curricula attach importance to verbal skills of the language. Because of this reason, it is not surprising to see the usage of techniques that aim to improve oral communication, such as Direct Translation or Total Physical Response. Unfortunately
Learning involves the acquisition of knowledge. Learning is a process of progressive adoption and a lifelong changing activity based on the change in mental representations and associations due to experience. Learning is also an important source by which information is obtained, stored, retrieved and used. The most effective strategies for learning depend on what kind of learning is desired and toward what ends. Rote Learning, a traditional method, is identified as a cultural preference and an effective
lived experiences (reflections) of rote learning through open ended questions. I requested to all participants but only three research participants (2.5%) voluntarily share their past reflections on lecture method and rote learning by writing on provided one blank paper. The received responses are given in Annex III. The findings indicated that 92 percent of the respondents use both the lecture method and rote learning as an effective means for teaching and learning . So, there is no significant change
to learn a student must follow the rote method of learning, as this method is what is most effective for me when it comes to remembering my school work. Rote learning is the memorization of information based on repetition. Examples of rote learning include memorizing the alphabet, numbers, and multiplication tables. After my time is my Practicum class my view on this has slightly changed. From my research, I found that rote is seen as an outdated learning method and while this method is not

Why have leaders? Why not embrace anarchy where decision-making and power are shared evenly among community members? Although this system would seem to ensure peace, harmony, and equality within society, it may foster complacency and stunt progress. This idea of how power should be distributed within a group has perplexed society for years, and John Steinbeck explores this theme while describing a family’s experience during the Great Depression. By presenting differing types of communities in his
potentially endangered by reason that (1) the number of active speakers decreases from time to time. Grimes (1997) identified about 7000 native speakers but knowing that only more or less 3000 people are living on the island of Ndao today and a few are in Rote and Timor who are considered as active speakers, then Balukh (2011) claimed that only about 39% of people are now actively speaking Dhao. This is because Dhao has limited room in communication, whether at home, in educational context, media, or in
Most of the classrooms run on the principle that “learning is remembering” this view of learning does not prepare them for life. According to Wagner (2012) what we know matters far less than what we can do with what we know. For example, these days some people believe all the junk news that spread on social media without questioning

The main contemporary perspectives of psychology Behavioral Neuroscience (psychobiological psychology) is a psychology perspective that studied the links among brain, mind and brain (. Biological Psychological is a psychology perspective that studied connection between bodily system and their relationship to behavior and thought (“Open Learning Initiative, n.d.)

Many believe mathematics can only be taught in a sequential and linear matter through the means of rote memorization. This means an educator delivers content matter, such as, formulas and equations directly while students passively listen. Gary Tsuruda, a former middle school math teacher, writes about how this might not be the best approach in the article Paradigm shift. While teaching math in a rote matter worked for some of his students, he found that he wasn’t reaching out to all of his student’s
them their own. Unintentional plagiarists, whereas, write the papers themselves but lack proper citation. Sherman (1992), on the other hand, notes the concrete symptoms of her Italian students which include repeating without any modification, rote-learning for exams, using others’ ideas without acknowledging and lacking reasoning. Sadly, I must concede that all these symptoms can be found in Vietnamese education. From my own teaching experience, I myself find that most of my university students are
Learning Theory and The Role It Plays in Education Introduction Learning theories are used every day in classrooms all over America, educational theorist Lev Vygotsky, Jean Piaget, Benjamin Bloom and Jerome Bruner introduced constructivism and social constructivism theories (cognitive development, social development, and developmental). The theories developed by Vygotsky, Piaget, Bloom, and Bruner share similarities and differences, and throughout the years have been compared for educational discoveries
has studied Foreign Languages at China West Normal University, “effective” mainly refers to the specific progress or development of students after a period of teaching by teachers. If students do not want to learn or they have gained nothing after learning, even if teachers teach harder and harder, it is still ineffective teaching. What are the ways to interact effectively between teachers and students? There are three preconditions: openness, interest, activity. Teachers should make classes open for
1.0 Introduction 1.1 Background of the Problem Competence Based Curriculum of students learning is an important component of any education system. The overall aim of CBC is to enhance attainment of educational objectives through meaningful learning. There is a global mistrust of paper and pencil based examination. This kind of assessment is however, criticised for its detrimental effects on students’ learning. Adams (1996) point out that paper and pencil particularly tests and examinations focus
and feel badly when they fail. According to James (2009) stated that "Learning" is an internal process that cannot be observed directly (p.45). The change occurs in an individual's ability to respond in a particular situation. In addition Willoughby, a freelance writer and former science and technology specialist (2010) postulated that no two student enter the classroom with identical abilities, experience and needs, their learning styles, language proficiency, background knowledge, readiness to learn
"Kingdom of Children: Culture and Controversy in the Homeschooling Movement" homeschooling started in the 1970's it began when an educational theorist named John Holt argued that public schools cause rote learning. He also argued that sitting in a public school all day created an oppressive learning environment. I have to personally agree with Holt's argument. My father teaches at a middle school and I sometimes go to the school to help around so I can have volunteer hours. My father is an art teacher
which they are to be taught ' (Richards et al. 1992, 368). Textbooks hold a cogent role in the teaching /learning process as they are the basic agents of transmitting knowledge to learners. The primary function of a textbook is to make available the exited knowledge and to facilitate the learners. Hutchinson and Torres (1994) state that a textbook plays a very important role in teaching /learning process. They state that textbooks provide the necessary input into classroom lessons through different
Research Questions From the literature review, it was established that there were several factors affecting language learning and acquisition. More specifically, it was revealed that factors such as exposure at an early age, motivation, attitudes, incentives and educational system can influence language acquisition. However, most of the research were conducted in the west and were focused on students as subjects to the study and foreigners working in the country where they need to learn the language
The three-second limit as one factor for measuring errors (pauses more than 2 or 3 second) was not definitely measured; rather, the researcher had to calculated the time iA sight word is a word that is instantly perceived as a whole and does not oblige word analysis for identification. Great readers immediately perceive sight words without needing to decode or decipher them. Sight words are normally "high-recurrence" words, which happen most frequently in our language. There are four phases of
Introduction In the last two decades learning strategies has grown more and more, especially learning vocabulary. One of the most important elements of language is vocabulary; there has been a considerable interest in vocabulary studies. By learning vocabulary foreign learners can improve their knowledge and proficiency in second language. Over the last years so many researchers, for example (Folse, 2006; Huang, 2007; Min, 2008; Shen, 2010; Vidal, 2011; Mohebbi, 2013; Charkova
