Cognitive Code Language Learning Theory

The document discusses the cognitive code approach to language learning, which was proposed in the 1960s as an alternative to behaviorist methods. The cognitive code theory was influenced by Chomsky's theory of transformational grammar and the idea that language is rule-governed. It also drew from cognitive psychology and Gestalt psychology's view that learning should be holistic. The cognitive approach treated language learning similarly to the grammar-translation method by emphasizing rules.

Approach (theory of language and theory of learning)

Theoritical background
Cognitive psychologists and applied linguisticts, such as John B. Carroll and Kenneth
Chastain, advocated the cognitive –code approach in 1960s to the study of a second language
as an alternative to the audio-lingual method prevalent at the time.
To a great extent, cognitive-code learning theory was based on contemporary development in
transformational grammar and the generative theory of language that developed in the 1950s
and 1960s.
Cognitive-code learning theory is a theory (CCLT) of L1 and L2 studies and research. CCLT
is said to have briefly replaced behaviorism in the late 1960s. At the time Chomsky’s theory
of transformational generative grammar, which claimed language is rule-governed and
creative, strongly emphasized rule-governed nature of language and language aquisition,
rather than habit formation.
Cognitive code-learning theory has the influences of Cognitive Psychology. CCLT is also
based on Gestalt psychology which states learning should be holistic.
The cognitive approach is sometimes considered the modern version of the grammar-
translation method.
