The transformation from the Industrial Age to the Information Age has brought in a so-called "Distributed Intelligence" (DI), a new concept for educational psychology. DI believes intelligence is being shared by individuals, and all the human and nonhuman resources they use. The application of this concept to foreign language teaching, however, remains murky. New teaching methodologies following the policy of Communicative Language Teaching has appeared since the 1980s. Among them, Community-Based Learning (CBL) has something in common with DI from a philosophical point of view, though CBL is only a small stream in the field. The purpose of this paper is : 1) to discuss the evolution of the old learning theory to the new one : 2) to clarify the differences between CBL and the Audio-Lingul Approach which is based on the old learning theory, and : 3) to examine the characteristics of CBL through its practices. The discussion shows behaviorism has limitations in the new learning environment and CBL has much potentiality as an effective teaching methodology to promote foreign language learning in the Information Age.
