Theories of Teaching in Language Teaching

Description

In an important paper on the relationship between theories of teaching and teaching skills, Zahorik (1986) classifies conceptions of teaching into three main categories: science-research conceptions, theory-philosophy conceptions, and art-craft conceptions.

I will then examine how each conception of teaching leads to differences in our understanding of what the essential skill
