Numerical Value of the Foreign languages Classroom and Relationship with quality of the Teaching Method. Considerations and Research Themes

Abstract

This work is based on variable quantitative analysis of the students in relationship to the teaching method of the F.L.E. and it represents a study about different levels of analysis in the second language acquisition. The starting point for our investigation is a subdivision of the four categories of variables based on the Savignon theory. The studies on this topic involve Gardner and Bettoni works. They are based on student’s needs and on the interlanguage definitions of Corder, Selinker and Py; the monitor model proposed by Krashen; the difference between competence and performance based on Ellis and Barkhuizen theory. The longitudinal and latitudinal approaches analyzed by Larsen-Freeman and Long have a great importance for our studies. Numerical approach permits to define a method of teaching/learning based on quantitative consistence of the groupclass.
