one among a number of other semiotic systems (lyons, 1981: 3-11). this emphasis follows the lead of saussure (1916: 33) in a concern to see language in the context of other communication frameworks. chomsky gives a rather formal definition in 1957: from now on i will consider a language to be a set (finite or infinite) of sentences, each finite in length and constructed out of a finite set of elements. (chomsky, 1957: 13) in 1965 noam chomsky made a distinction very similar to the one that ferdinand de saussure had made between 'language' and 'parole' in 1916. the distinction made by chomsky was between 'competence' - a speaker's intuitive knowledge of the rules of his native language and 'performance' - what he actually produces by applying these rules. we thus make a fundamental distinction between competence the speaker-hearer's knowledge of his language) and performance (the actual use of language …

-cultural features, of the fact that we talk to different people, in different situations, about different things and different problems: the study oflanguage in relation to the situations in which it is used ... is a theoretical pursuit, no less interesting and central to linguistics than psycholinguistic investigations relating the structure of language to the structure of human brain. (halliday, 1970: 145) besides the above described views a third position exists which accepts a competence/performance distinction but extends the notion of competence to embrace all rule-systems which describe our knowledge of language. this view has led to the concept of communicative competence, implied by campbell, wales and marshall (1966) and cooper, r. l. (1968) and discussed by a range of scholars including lakobovits (1970), habennas (1970), hymes (1971), and savignon (1972). thus, in 1970 campbell and wales proposed that the chomskyan notion of competence should be extended beyond purely grammatical …

when not to speak, what to talk about with whom, when, where, and in what manner. (hymes, 1972: 277) this ethnographic approach , according to brumfit (1994) leads to a consideration of communicative competence, in direct and deliberate opposition to chomsky's linguistic competence. evaluating hymes' contribution to applied linguistics and language teaching brumfit points out: what hymes has done conveniently, though, is to provide a broad framework, even if often no more than metaphorical, for subsequent discussion of language as a system which is performed as well as known . ... hymes' categories provide a useful descriptive framework, even though they are not intended to provide a basis for generative rules. (brumfit, 1994: 26) the purpose of the preceding discussion has been to illustrate the way in which scholars in many disciplines have attempted to show the vast range of approaches to language. what they show cumulatively is that language …

tudents interacting with the software used its various components in an adequate and goal‐appropriate way and found the use of the software to be a positive experience. after the experimental period, knowledge of vocabulary was significantly higher for one of the computer‐using groups compared to its control group, although in the word (re)production tests no significant differences were found between the experimental and control groups. implications of the results of the experiments for teacher education are discussed, with an emphasis on the importance of teachers learning how to assess the pedagogical approach of software and the didactic principles involved in its design and intended use. 3. before discussing the problem of foreign language learning in greater detail it would be noteworthy to look closer at the very notion of learning. there are various interpretations of the process of learning. as our research dea1s with different aspects of foreign language learning, …
