摘　　要：How an articulated mammal learns a foreign language has been a mystery for many years to language researchers. Language scholars have put forward different ways to explain this problem. Yet all of them are not perfect. Each of these theories has contributed both quantitively and qualitively to the different aspects of language learning. However, language learning and teaching doesn’t happen in a vaccum. It is affected by many factors. In vast rural areas in China, practically speaking, behaviorist approach fits in with the writer’s own experience. Some weaknesses of this approach are also discussed. Therefore what is important is to adapt, not to adopt blindly.How an articulated mammal learns a foreign language has been a mystery for many years to language researchers.
