LSRW comes naturally.

Acquisition is better than learning.

कुछ भाषा या नियम जानने के बाद वह नॉलेज आपको आगे मॉनिटर करता है भाषा सीखने के लिए। गलत सही पता चलता रहता है।

4. Input Hypothesis

बच्चा जो जानता है, ना उससे कम, ना उसके बराबर बल्कि उससे थोड़ा ज्यादा (+1) input दिया जाना चाहिए। जिससे कि उसकी क्षमता बढ़े, उसका level up हो। input कम होगा तो कोई फायदा नहीं होगा और बराबर होने पर वह बोर हो जाएगा।

5. Affective Filter Hypothesis

आपके emotions आपके भाषा इस्तेमाल में problem दे सकते हैं। बेहतर भाषा सीखने और उपयोग करने के लिए आपको emotionally stable होना चाहिए।

Maxims of Language Teaching

Maxims of teaching are of universal significance.

छोटे-छोटे वेरीफाइड फार्मूला है टीचिंग के लिए। यह सार्वभौमिक महत्व रखते हैं चाहे आप बच्चे को कहीं भी पढ़ाओ।

These Maxims help the teacher to teach systematically.

टीचर को हेल्प करते हैं टीचिंग में सिस्टमैटिकली पढ़ाने में। मतलब कहां से शुरू करोगे, कहां पर खत्म करोगे। किन सूत्रों को आप फालो करेंगे।

1. Known to Unknown

यहां पर हम यह नहीं मानते हैं कि बच्चे को कुछ नहीं आता है। मतलब पढ़ाते वक्त हम पहले बच्चे को वह पढ़ाएंगे जो उसे आता है। फिर उसी से जोड़कर वह पढ़ाएंगे जो उसे नहीं आता है।

1. It is based on the fact that a learner is not blank.

2. It is considered that old knowledge lays the foundation of new knowledge.

3. Previous knowledge can be used to increase & widen the outlook of a learner.

E.g. hi and hello

Tree and associates

2. Simple to complex

सरल से कठिन की ओर। पहले आसान चीजें पढ़ाई जाएगी और फिर धीरे-धीरे उसके लेवल के हिसाब से हम बढ़ाते जाएंगे। जैसे हम बेसिकली वीडियो गेम्स खेलते हैं पहले सरल होते हैं और फिर हमारा लेवल बढ़ता जाता है।

1. First simple things should be taught and then complex things.

2. Knowledge of simple things encourages learners so that they can easily understand complex things.

E.g. simple sentences should be taught first. Like get out. May I come in, sir?

3. Concrete to Abstract

आता मूर्त से अमूर्त की ओर। मतलब पहले हम बच्चे को वह सिखाते हैं जो वह देख सकता है टच कर सकता है, फील कर सकता है। जैसे बच्चे को सेब दिखाएं और उसे बताएं कि यह apple है तो वह आसानी से इसे याद रख सकता है।

Eg. Abstract noun

Things taught with the help of concrete objects last for a longer period.

4. Analysis to Synthesis

विश्लेषण से संस्लेषण 

A complex problem when divided into different parts can be understood easily.

Eg. We teach different parts of a sentence, and then the learner is able to understand the synthesis of sentences.

5. Induction to Deduction

आगमन से निगमन की ओर 

जैसे यदि आप noun पढ़ा रहे हो तो noun की परिभाषा देने के स्थान पर, पहले उसे बताओगे कि यह noun है। फिर परिभाषा से उसे समझाओगे। आपकी फेवरेट जगह कौन है आपके पापा का नाम क्या है आपकी फेवरेट डिश कौन सी है?

 एग्जांपल टू रुल 

In induction a few examples are given and then a conclusion is drawn.

In deduction, first of all a rule is made known and then examples are given.

Teaching should proceed from induction to deduction.

E.g.

6. Whole to Part

समग्र से हिस्सों की ओर

मान लो कि कोई कहानी है, कोई कविता है। पहले उसे पूरी सुना दी, बता दी। उसके बाद उसको हिस्से करके समझाओगे।

मतलब कौन सी verb है? कौन सा noun है। Structure क्या है? यह सब बाद में।

First the whole lesson should be taught and then its parts should

be analysed and studied intensively.
