        How can we use Constructivism to teach pragmatics?
        
        An example of pragmatics is how the same word can have different meanings in different settings, so we can use constructivism to have students acknowledge their own experiences and backgrounds before school, which includes differences in words and phrases
        
        Study of how words are used, as wells as study of signs and symbols

Piaget

Skinner

Vygotsky

Constructivism

Behaviorism

Socio Culturalism

Developing cognitive capabilities

Believed that cognitive learning theories can explain deeper, complex psychological phenomena such as motivation, schemas, and other processes for learning

His work is described as comprising two branches: developmental cognitive learning

Did work with Piaget on socio constructivism

Theorized that social interaction is important for cognitive development

Was a professor of psychology at Harvard University from 1958-1974

Known as an American psychologist, behaviorist, social philosopher, inventor, and author

Known for the theory of Operant Conditioning, which is a method of learning through rewards and punishments that defines an individual’s behavioral response to stimuli

Opportunities to discover new information

Incorporating new knowledge into existing

Everyone constructs knowledge in their own unique way

The context affects the individual (and vice versa)

Scaffolding

Zone of proximal development

Working in groups

Existing learning strategies

Language as a habit

Reward desired behavior and punish undesired behavior

Applied to language learning

Repetition

Phonology

How can we use Behaviorism to teach phonology?

Students utilizing "um" or "like," while presenting. This is an undesired behavior, so we would reward students who do not use these phrases within their presentation.

Syntax

How can we use Socio Culturalism to teach syntax?

Helping the learner get to the next level within grammar structures
The interaction with others can enhance students' syntax ability and verbalizing what they are doing

Pragmatics

How can we use Constructivism to teach pragmatics?

An example of pragmatics is how the same word can have different meanings in different settings, so we can use constructivism to have students acknowledge their own experiences and backgrounds before school, which includes differences in words and phrases

Refers to the study of the sound system of a language

Study of how words are used, as wells as study of signs and symbols
