Viewing our research of SLA as art is advantageous because such a view reduces the need of closure and allows us to see our work in a larger perspective with less dogmatism and ego involvement.

Plant a seed. Watch it grow It will go so much farther than youll ever know. And whether that seed be action or word, Whether harsh or kind, Its power will be heard. And whether its fruit will bring you joy or distress You are the one who will injure or bless
The End
Conclusion
1.All three theories of language learning inter-relate somehow. Many teachers will use classroom methods which may be linked to all three approaches. Teachers who are native speakers tend to use Krashens Natural Approach more than others. But this approach has been hotly disputed and it seems that it took a back seat in the foreign language learning classroom during the last few years.
Conclusion
2. It is important to remember that "theory" and "theoretical research" should not be the only input into deciding on methodology and materials.
Conclusion
3. It is dangerous to rely only on theory. There are at least three different ways of arriving at answers in methodology and materials, and we must consider all of them. A teacher should be aware of the different theories and approaches and use them as a basis for his/her teaching.
Conclusion
4. The solution to our problems in language teaching lies not in expensive equipment, exotic methods, sophisticated linguistic analyses, or new laboratories, but in full utilization of what we already have, speakers of the languages using them for real communication.
Conclusion
5.the best methods might also be the most pleasant, and that, strange as it seems, language acquisition occurs when language is used for what it was designed for, communication

intake
input (rain clouds)--> stimulate seeds --> the potency of input is dependent on the appropriate styles and strategies that a person puts into action (represented as soil)
during germination of language ability--> networks of competence build and grow stronger as the organism actively engages in comprehension and production of language. The resulting root system (Inferre input (rain clouds)--> stimulate seeds --> the potency of input is dependent on the appropriate styles and strategies that a person puts into action (represented as soil) during germination of language ability--> networks of competence build and grow stronger as the organism actively engages in comprehension and production of language. The resulting root system (Inferred competence -->or intake) is what through the use of further strategies and affective abilities + the feedback we receive from others (note the tree trunk) --> we ultimately develop full-flowering communicative abilities. the fruit of our performance (output) --> is conditioned by the climate of innumerable contextual variables.

2. during germination of language ability--> networks of competence build and grow stronger as the organism actively engages in comprehension and production of language. 3. The resulting root system (Inferred competence --> is what we commonly call intake) 4. through the use of further strategies and affective abilities + the feedback we receive from others (note the tree trunk) --> we ultimately develop full-flowering communicative abilities. 5. the fruit of our performance (output) --> is conditioned by the climate of innumerable contextual variables. at any point the horticulturist (teacher) can -Irrigate to create better input -apply fertilizers for richer soil -encourage the use of effective strategies & affective enhancer
and in the greenhouses of our classrooms, control the contextual climate for optimal growth!
