Promoting Meaningful Learning in the English Class

Abstract

Various psychologists and methodologists have discussed through the years the different aspects involved in the teaching-learning process. Likewise they have experimented with a good many theories and approaches in the hope of discovering the best elements to make the aforementioned process a dynamic, effective and integral activity. Nevertheless, theories that were once important have become less influential and have been replaced by others which have evolved as a result of the weaknesses of preceeding theories as a way of meeting the needs of a demanding modern world.
