Jung, Lothar – Neusprachliche Mitteilungen, 1977
Considers the question of how much psycholinguistics can contribute to foreign language teaching.

These various psycholinguistic directions are sketched and examined for their applicability to foreign language teaching. (Text…

In this paper, two theoretical approaches to language teaching, the audio-lingual and the cognitive code methods, are examined with respect to how they deal with feedback in the classroom situation.
