They can guide and inspire vocational teaching, because they start from the student's learning situation, guide teachers to adjust their teaching methods, and provide better service for teaching and learning. This paper mainly analyzes the Krashen's input hypothesis and the affective filter hypothesis'enlightenment to the vocational English teaching.展开更多

While the weak one argues language can influence but the influence is relative. This thesis is to give a view on the relation ship between these two concepts, hoping to give some help to the research of language and culture, and the understanding of their relationship.展开更多
