This book is a comprehensive resource that bridges the gap between linguistic theory and classroom application. This collaborative work brings together the insights of emerging educators and scholars who explore how established learning theories can be effectively transformed into dynamic English Language Teaching practices. The book presents a collection of chapters, each focusing on a different pedagogical foundation from behaviorism, innatism, and cognitivism to communicative language teaching, Vygotskian theory, post-method pedagogy, Krashen’s second language acquisition, and connectivism. Each theory is discussed through an accessible structure that combines conceptual explanations, classroom implications, and detailed lesson plan examples. This dual emphasis allows readers not only to understand the philosophical roots of each approach but also to visualize how they can be implemented in real teaching scenarios. What distinguishes this book is its balanced approach: it neither confines itself to theory nor oversimplifies practice. Instead, it integrates both, guiding teachers to make informed decisions that are adaptable to diverse learner needs and institutional contexts. Readers will find practical strategies for fostering communicative competence, reducing learner anxiety, integrating technology, and designing meaningful learning experiences that promote interaction, reflection, and autonomy. Ultimately, this book emphasizes that effective English teaching is an ongoing dialogue between theory and practice—one that empowers teachers to transform principles into purposeful pedagogy and learners into confident, competent communicators in a global context.

In modern educational practice, understanding various learning theories is very important for educators, prospective teachers, and education practitioners in order to design effective, relevant learning strategies that are tailored to the needs of students. Through this book, the author attempts to present a systematic theoretical study of several major theories that have influenced the development of educational science, namely Behaviorism, Cognitivism, Constructivism, Social Learning Theory, Sociocultural Theory, and Connectivism. Each chapter in this book is written by a different author, according to their field of study and scientific focus. The first chapter discusses Behaviorism theory, which focuses on behavior and reinforcement through habituation. The second chapter outlines Cognitivism theory, which explains the role of mental processes in learning. The third chapter describes Constructivism theory, which emphasizes the active process of learners in constructing knowledge. The fourth chapter explores Social Learning Theory, which links learning to observation and social interaction. The fifth chapter discusses Sociocultural Theory, which highlights the influence of culture and social context on cognitive development. Finally, the sixth chapter reviews Connectivism as a digital age learning theory that places technology and information networks as an integral part of the learning process.
