Activity 2.

1. Why are the following theories considered foundations to MTB-MLE? Discuss

the relevance of each theory to MTB-MLE.

(a) LEARNING THEORIES:

1. Piaget's Developmental Theory

 explains how a child constructs a mental model of the world. He
disagreed with the idea that intelligence was a fixed trait, and
regarded cognitive development as a process that occurs due to
biological maturation and interaction with the environment.
2. Anderson's Schema Theory
  all knowledge is organized into units. Within these units of
knowledge, or schemata is stored information. A schema, then,
is a generalized description or a conceptual system for
understanding knowledge-how knowledge is represented and
how it is used.
3. Bandura's Social Theory
 Behavior is imitated by others, especially children. The
importance of Social Learning Theory can unveil new methods
of teaching. This can be looking at how children copy behavior,
identification, and implement this learning-by-doing strategy.
4. Vygotsky's Social Constructivist Theory
   Language and culture are the frameworks through which
humans experience, communicate, and understand reality.
Culture is significant in learning a language is the root of culture,
and individuals learn and develop within their role in the
community.

(b) LANGUAGE ACQUISITION THEORIES:

1. Krashen's 5 Theories
 The Acquisition-Learning Hypothesis
 The Monitor Hypothesis
 The Natural Order Hypothesis
 The Input Hypothesis
 The Affective Filter Hypothesis
2. Cummins's' BICS and CALP
 BICS = Basic Interpersonal Communication Skills
The language necessary for day-to-day living, including
conversations with friends, and informal interaction.
 CALP = Cognitive Academic Language Proficiency.
Language is necessary to understand and discuss content in
the classroom.
3. Cultural Transmission Model of Learning.

 is the way a person learns about a new culture by engaging and

immersing themselves in the culture and people around them.
Another term for this is cultural learning. Cultural transmission
refers to the way a person learns about the social behaviors that
make up a particular society.
