CHAPTER II THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
A. Definition of learning
Learning language theory lies within behaviourism. The belief is that learning is a question of habit information. The behaviourist
beliefs that when a new habit was learned then the old one would have some effect on the learning process.
1
While language learning theory usually assumes from a baby learns mother tongue. For instance when a
baby starts to utter ―mama‖ at the same time she will develop the ability to utter similar words such as ―mamam‖ or ―emam‖.
In education world, a learning not only happen in the classroom hence the term teaching and learning is often to describe teaching and
teaching strategies, this situation brings learning separated from teaching, although learning is part of teaching, many prevalent views of
learning stated that it is a passive process of knowledge acquisition, with predictable and measurable outcome.
2
Watkins assumes that the passive process as a brain process which gain new experience from
surrounding. According the writer’s opinion it is called passive since no physical activity, it related to brain
activity, this brain activity called learning process. While ―predictable‖
outcome means the result of learning is predicted whether successful or not successful.
―It is measurable‖ means the result could measure by passed or did not passed, usually there is passing grade to judge
student’s success. Watkins perception contradicts with Abbot perception, he
stated: 1.
learning is an active process of relating new meaning to existing meaning, involving the accommodation and assimilation of
ideas, skills, thought and so on.
