I. Introduction

Situated Learning theory (SLT) is developed by Jean Lave and Etienne Wenger in
1991 and this method explains the process and development of a learner through participating
in the community of practice. This theory focus on the relationship between learning and the
social situation in which it occurs, and this theory has been used in school to improve
teaching practice.

II. Body

Situated Learning theory plays a crucial role in the development of the learners and to
our community because it focuses on speaking and listening where it emphasizes the
importance of oral practice in our daily life. It also develops speaking and listening skills,
vocabulary and structure because this helps the learners to use the language appropriately,
situational context where the situations are provided with a framework which language is
used and practiced, teacher’s role because it plays a crucial role in in situated learning theory
by guiding the learners and providing them a clear understanding of the target language, use
of visual aids and realia when we say visuals aids these are the things like pictures and
flashcard while realia are the real object and these are commonly used to create more realistic
context and make the language more tangible, drills and repetition this helps the learners to
absorb the structures and vocabulary and making them more instinctive in their use, and
lastly the emphasis and accuracy in their pronunciation, grammar, and usage is highlighted.

Situated learning theory also has two principles where the first one is Knowledge needs to
be presented in an authentic context, i.e., settings and applications that would normally
involve that knowledge, this means that presenting knowledge in a legitimate context
improved the learning experience by making it more applicable and practical. There also
some key factors in this principle like the relevance where it means that when the learners see
the explicit application of what they are learning, they are more likely to be engaged in the
because they have an idea or knowledge about the lesson. Engagement, in which authentic
context naturally immerses the leaners by connecting with their interest and experiences.
Skill development at which practicing skills in realistic setting helps the learners to develop
abilities that are directly transferable to their daily lives. The second principle of situated
learning theory (SLT) is Learning requires social interaction and collaboration where it
means that the interaction and collaboration of the leaners are important components of
learning progress because engaging with other learners helps them to share knowledge,
develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

In summary, Situated Leaning theory is important for language development focusing


on vocabulary and structure, speaking and listening, teacher’s role, situational context,
visuals aids, drills, realia, repetition, and accuracy in grammar, pronunciation, and usage. It
also implements oral practices and teacher guidance to create more measurable language
experiences.
