FLT and Psychology One cannot develop language skills(listening comprehension, speaking,
reading and writing) of our pupils effectively if we do not know and take into
account the psychology of habits and skills, the ways of forming them, the
influence of formerly acquired habits on the formation of new ones, and many
other necessary factors that psychology can supply us with. Since bringing up and
teaching children are particular modes of combined physical and mental activity, it
is clear that psychological principles must largely contribute to the theoretical
foundation of pedagogy in general and of methods of teaching in particular.
Pedagogy and psychology may be said to overlap each other, or like two
interesting circles, to have a common area, which do main bears the name of
“educational psychology”. This relationship may be represented graphically as
follows: Pedagogy - Educational Pedagogy - Psychology.
At present we have much material in the field of psychology which can be
applied to teaching a foreign language. For example, N.I. Zinkin a prominent
Soviet psychologist in his investigation of the mechanisms of speech came to the
conclusion that words and rules of combining them are most probably dormant in
the kinetic center of the brain. When the ear receives a signal it reaches the brain,
its hearing center and then passes to the kinetic center. Thus, if a teacher wants his
pupils to speak English he must use all the opportunities he has to make them hear
or speak it. Furthermore, to master a second language is to acquire another code,
another way of receiving and transmitting information. To create this new code in
the most effective way one must take into consideration certain psychological
factors. Effective learning of a foreign language depends on to a great extent on the
pupils’ memory. That is why a teacher must know how he can help his pupils to
memorize successfully and retain in memory the language material they learn.
Psychology allows the methodologists to determine the so-called
psychological content of teaching i.e. in what habits and skills should be developed
in pupils to acquire language proficiently. Psychology also helps Methods in
selecting techniques for teaching and learning, i.e. in how to teach in a most
effective way, for example, under what conditions pupils can learn words, phrases,
sentence-patterns more effectively, or how to ensure pupils memorizing new words
in an easier way. Since progress in learning is made by the addition of new
knowledge may be imparted in teaching a certain group of pupils, what
psychological factors should be taken into consideration when imparting a new
knowledge to pupils.
