The Humanistic Basis of Second Language Learning

WINFRED P. LEHMANN

RANDALL L. JONES

A humanistic approach to language study recognizes the necessity of learning a language in its social and cultural contexts, encompassing the ecology and the material, social, religious, and linguistic cultures of the language studied. The need to teach language in relation to social and cultural values affects educational choices with respect to curriculum, materials, and approaches and should be central to national planning and programs for professional development and the improvement of teaching.
