THE ROLE OF DISCIPLINE IN LANGUAGE LEARNING

Abstract

Abstract: Language teaching is generally considered a scientific discipline in the field of"applied linguistics",at least the way the answer is conceptualized in Englis education. However, if we consider language teaching as a practice, this alignment is not as good as it might seem at first glance.Teaching,learning and using a foreign language is complex and multifaceted;language,culture,education,communication,identity,etc.includestopics.Therefore,the study of language teaching and learning is collaborative because various disciplines can provide different perspectives on understanding the same phenomenon and create new understandings about the object.In addition,language teaching,as a field where language and culture have different connections, is at the intersection of differentdisciplines that develop thinking and make a difference between language  andlearning. For example, "language teaching" as a field of study does not overla with its French counterpart, didactique des langues". These interdisciplinary interactions represent an often overlooked form of collaboration.This article will explore how language teaching and learning can both be informed by a discussion of thinking.
