What is taught is what is learned?” This question is a very general question.

I think if we said
“What is Learned is what is taught?” will be more convenient, however it is still not correct.

According to what we have learned in the last group of videos, to learn is to recall a list of
vocabulary and language rules, while to acquire is to put that knowledge to use through real life
situations.

I completely disagree with the following statement: What is taught is what is learned. The
learning process is a complicated process, which has two modes focused and diffuse modes.
According to the outputs of these modes the learning process will succeed or not succeed. 

In the focused mode the teacher must deliver the rules of the language and in the diffuse mode
the teacher must let students practice what they have comprehended in the previous step. With
taking into consideration the 80/20 rule. 80% of the learning time to practice, whereas 20% of
the time for rules and instructions.

With such a complicated process, we see many factors and inputs affect the success of the
learning process. So, not all of what is taught is what is learned.

Hello I am Charle Magne, and I am happy to share my ideas about this statement.

I am not totally agree with the statement, "what is taught is what is learned" because learning
isn't only acquire inside the classroom, besides we can learn through the things that we do
everyday, we can learn through direct experiences.

This statements shows more on content centered approached where it's likely to do more on
memorizations, remembering and recalling.

I think it is not effective if we were just relying on what is ught is what is learned because we
tend to forget things if we can just memorize it or remember it, in order for it to become effetive
is we should encorporate it to our daily lives just like what Prof tought we should learn 20
percent and the 80 % will be the practice.

I am here in this course because I want to filled my mind with noble learnings and I love meet
brilliant people in the world.

Hi it's me Belle. It is said that what is taught is what is learned. I don't totally agree with this. I
can say that there are instances that it is true. But most of the time, it is not applicable. We all
know that we are unique. We have different way of learning. In a class, we have different kinds
of pupils. They do have different attitudes and different kinds of learning styles. For instance, in
a class although we teach well still there are few pupils who were unable to get what we are
teaching. Imitation is another thing in learning. There were children that learn fast by way of
observing. They imitate what they see or hear. Then later on, they apply it. I can say that not
everyone learn what others taught them.

What is taught is what is learned”

I disagree with the statement “what is taught is what is learned”. Language taught in

schools are based on curriculum. Students engage in a lot of focused mode learning with content

and lessons that are based on grammar vocabulary, pronunciation etc. Students are taught mainly

focused mode or zoom lens; therefore’ they never acquire the language.

Another reason I disagree with this statement is because some people learn a language

through watching movies, reading and pending time around people who speak the language.

These people were not taught that language at school, but primarily through diffuse mode

learning or acquisition. Not only did these people learn the language more quickly but speak the

language better than those who learned it in a school.

Also, what is taught in class is a controlled variable and because of this it has and can

only be measured through exams. Thee exams may not always be the best method to evaluate

what is taught. This kind of learning does not give a wide lens or diffuse mode type of learning,

students become more open to learning opportunities, which makes student not only learn but

acquire the language.

Lastly, focused mode learning is very controlled and are usually good when aiming to get

good score in exams. This type of learning is objective and the information learned I often

forgotten because there is no real-world application. For these reasons stated above, I strongly

disagree with the statement.

I am Phuong from Vietnam.

I completely disagree with the following statement: What is taught is what is learned. According
to what we have learned in the last group of videos, to learn is to recall a list of vocabulary and
language rules, while to acquire is to put that knowledge to use through real life situations. I
hope that we can’t remember and apply everything we are taught so I strongly disagree with the
given statement and would like to argue against the statement. The learning process is a
complicated process, which has two modes focused and diffuse modes. In the focused mode the
teacher must deliver the rules of the language and in the diffuse mode the teacher must let
students practice what they have comprehended in the previous step.

For instance, I would like to add my personal experience of learning English as second language.
In our country, Vietnam, we learn English at schools as a subject matter not as a language. It is
based on curriculum and so focuses on grammatical rules, vocabulary, pronunciation rules which
Brown called focused learning modes. We don’t learn how to convey a message to others and
how to have a conversation in English. Besides, we apply 80/20 rules in the opposite way. We
spend 80% in studying the textbook, memorizing new words and doing worksheets. Also, what
is taught in class is a controlled variable and because of this it has and can only be measured
through exams. The exams may not always be the best method to evaluate what is taught. We
never think that classrooms can never connected to the real world that means we never use
diffused mode of learning. Thus we have to learn listening and speaking skills through watching
movies, playing games, reading books or listening to the music. As a result, Vietnam people are
good at reading or writing but mostly weak at speaking. For this reason, I can say we don’t learn
everything we are taught and what are taught are not enough on the other hand.

To sum up, for a language learner, it is insufficient to merely learn what is taught at schools.
Besides, the language teachers also need to apply both focused mode and diffuse mode
depending on the lesson and nature of students. For these reasons, I strongly disagree with the
statement “What is taught is what is learnt.”
