We, as human beings, have the capacity of changing our behaviour thanks to the adquisition of new knowledges. so, it is important to know besides to have clear the concepts of teaching and learning.

Teaching is transmiting knowledge, it is helping someone to learn how to do something. Teaching, as a process, can be produce in an individual or a group of students. There are some ways knowledge is transfered:

It is External because the process is done from teachers to students, It is Intentional because someone (teacher)wants to give his knowledges to others and It is temporary as a result of a period of time.

Learning is adquiring new knowledges or getting knowledges by experiences or instructions, this process is permanent, individual and continuous.

Its characteristics are:

Durable because learning is a continuous process, Transferable to new situations because we can learn in other enviroments, not just in a classroom and Related to practical activities, new knowledges need to be into practice to consolidate it.

We can teach or learn a new language through three ways:

Behaviorism is about answers to incentives, that is why it is is used to law of exercises, effect and the principle of shapping. Behaviorism has the goal of teaching with structural pattern repeatedly and pupils have to do everything correctly without mistakes.

Cognitivism is about experiences. Give to the learners activities to do and learning with the experience of a new language.

Constructivism is about building. We have to build our own knowledge. Positive affective conditions are important as stimulators.
