The document compares and contrasts four schools of thought on language acquisition: structuralism, behavioral psychology, cognitivism, and constructivism. Structuralism and behavioral psychology take a descriptive and empirical approach, focusing on observable data. Cognitivism and constructivism take a more active approach that emphasizes meaning and the learner's role in developing understanding. Constructivism and cognitivism both focus on how learners interact with knowledge to develop meaning.
