Aspects of Teaching Foreign Languages at a Technical University

Abstract

The term extraversion, derived from the theories of personality developed in psychology, acts as one of the central roles in the domain of SLA. Having studied about extraversion, it has been discovered two controversial views towards its effect on language learning: Rossier (1975) asserts that people owning extraverted personality are prone to be fluent in terms of communicative skills while Eysenck’s (1964) studies demonstrate that extraverts are less successful language learners owing to several neuro-chemical phenomena in the human brain. The presented case study is going prove the former theory by observing, describing and reporting the learning process of an extrovert learner using valid methodology during the experiment.
