This paper examines the learning theories that underlie the philosophy and practices known as communicative language teaching methodology. These theories are identified first as a reaction against the behavioristic learning theory of audiolingualism. Approaches to syllabus design based on both the "weak" version of communicative language teaching-learning to use the second language-and the "strong" version-using the second language to learn it-are examined. The application of cognitive theory to second language acquisition theory is dealt with. Finally, a range of approaches to systematizing classroom language learning are highlighted, from traditional grading by linguistic or functional considerations to systematic consciousness raising, task selection, text analysis, and learner training in autonomy and learning strategy development.
