The document discusses the cognitive theory view of learners as active processors of information, in contrast to the behaviorist view of learners as passive receivers. According to the cognitive theory, learners are active thinkers who analyze situations, impose meaning on data, and learn through problem-solving. This view emphasizes meaningful practice and inductive presentation of structures, and has influenced English for Specific Purposes education through the development of reading strategy courses.

Answer for many of the theoretical and practical problems raised by behaviorism emphasized the importance of meaningful practice, and the structures presented inductively Learners are active processor of information (Ausubel, 1978) Learners apply their mental powers in order to distil a workable generative rule from the mass of data presented
- 4. Learners analyze the situations where the application of the rule would be useful or appropriate Learners try to make sense of data Learning have taken place when learner has managed to impose some sort of meaningful interpretation or pattern on the data
- 5. Learners learn by thinking and trying to make sense of what we see, feel and hear. The basic teaching technique associated with this theory is the problem-solving task. This theory has had a significant impact on ESP through the development of courses to teach teaching reading strategies
