INTRODUCTION
The self learning process is helpful in terms to analysing and evaluating their own things
effectively. It is the kind personal portfolio in this the self response of person is need to be
defined. In this assignment there are various learning theories are defined as are behavioural,
cognitive, social and constructive (August & Shanahan, 2017). The main aim of this theory in
this relation is to select the instructional tool, strategies and techniques and this will all be helpful
to promoting good knowledge about the things. The present assignment will outline the activities
as are impact over the learning attitude of personal and the various factors which helps to
promote effective learning in the individual.
SECTION 1
Approach as Psychological and Psychoanalytical- This kind of approach and literature of
children puts their major consideration over inner out of world. This kind of theory is need to be
utilised in adults literary criticism and writing the theory for children. Under this, this kind of
theory helps the children to put its major focus over issues as are fear, furious, anxiety and ways
with help of which children can be managed effectively.
Physical- There can be various negative impact at the time of learning nay new language. I have
seen typical staged at the time I was learning Korean language. I have seen that deaf people learn
to speak late as their efficiency of knowing something is not that much effective to normal
people. The pronunciation is not also that good. The people who used to listen less and they try
harder than others. In this way, they choose special school from where they can able to enhance
their learning skills. Thus, it can be said that physical barrier affects the learning of person in
harsh manner.
It is one kind of barriers. I must said that learning process will be good with good
healthy. Health is something which is need to be in good conditions (Pennycook, 2017). In
addition to this, it is need to be noted that learning of new language as Korean foreign language
is not that easy. There must be keep body in good conditions as share time to get the rest,
relaxation, pray and rest. The main aim is to put major focus over the learning of new language
so that process of learning can be effective. At the time of learning Korean language I feel that
this language is very difficult to understand and speak. I came to Korea and felt that I am
surrounded by strange so that I decided to learn this language.
1

Cognitive- The cognitive factors are relates to intelligence, sense organs. Heredity, maturation
etc. In these terms proper development relates to matter of intelligence among child. This kind of
development is influenced by matter of intelligence among the person. I was good in capturing
the new things. In this way, I start to explore my knowledge in this regard. The good grasping
speed helps me a lot throughout the learning of new language. The cognitive learning will be
inclusive of various factors as are memorizing the facts and information to the higher level of
process as understanding, application, analysis and evaluation. This kind of learning
development is related to the abilities of problem solving (Mezirow, 2018). This kind of
development is also influenced by the heredity traits which are gets from parents. In this term it
can be said that the development in them will be similar as to their parents cognitive
development. The mental capabilities of individual plays essential role in relation to having
improvement development in learning process of child.
Social- In this there is need to put major focus over the things like importance of observing,
attitudes, emotional reactions etc. This aims that leaning new development will relate to
observing through modelling (Kegan, 2018). This kind of theory may be called as social learning
theory. I have faced various difficulties at the time of learning of Korean language. Thus, the
social learning is continuous process in these people used to get learn from other people.
Gender differences- The gender difference also influence the leaning capacity of individual.
Thus, it can be said that the gender role are the pattern of the behaviour, attitude various kind of
expectation associated with particular kind of sex. In this the psychologist make distinguish
between the role of gender at the time of learning new things. The discrimination is to be made
on the basis of things as are boys tends to be more active than girls. In this way they are able to
learn the new language easily.
Intelligence or learning preferences- The matter of intelligence and preferences plays essential
role in order to develop the things effectively. This is helpful in order to analyse the learning of
the things effectively. In these activities learning process of individual need to be effective. The
learning attitude of person will be helpful to learn the new things (Lavrenko & Croft, 2017).
Socio-cultural diversity- The factor of socio cultural diversity is in relation to the differences in
respect to cultures influence the learning process. This is based on the things as are race,
religious beliefs, socio-economic status etc. It is related to the acknowledging diversity on the
basis of backgrounds (Lavrenko & Croft, 2017). It is very difficult to set in the new culture. The
2

social culture diversity also plays the main role in relation to affects the learning of new things.
This kind of study reflects that social economic status plays important role in term to learning of
children. The learning of the child may get affect it they belong to low SES background and it
compares to high SES background. Thus, learning of the child may get affected due to issues of
background.
SECTION 2
The learning theories are the organized set of principles and its helps to explain how
individual take the initiatives in order to acquire, retain and develop knowledge. Thus, it can be
said that the principles of theories relates to various things as are tool, techniques and strategies
which helps to promote the learning of individuals.
Cognitive- This term relates to processing and it is based on though process behind the
behaviour of person. Thus, it can be said that this kind of theory is based on the ideas and
information which will be helpful to develop the learning among the person. I was good in
catching the things, so I became able to learn the new things in fast manner. I have taken the
various steps to develop my efficient towards learning of Korean language. The stage of learning
will be inclusive of various experiences and this all related to the internal as well external
circumstances. This approach is helpful in order to put more attention on focussing over mental
process rather than observable behaviour. In addition to this, it can be said that this is related to
the change in knowledge which works as to stored in behaviours and not in relation to change in
behaviour of individual (Ary & et.al., 2018). Thus, there are various kinds of examples and
application of learning theory that are- discussion, problem solving, providing pictures, imagery
etc. this is the theory which relates to finding of the thing that what is running in the mind of
learned. The inner skill of learner will be helpful to enhancing its skills.
Social Cognitive-This kind of theory will be used in relation to used psychology, eduction and
communication and this all directly relates to the knowledge of acquisition of learner
(Schwendeman, 2018). With the help this there can be increment in order to social interactions,
experiences and media influences. Thus, it can be grounded by the several basic assumptions. In
this manner it can be said that the learner is able to acquire the new behaviours and knowledge
by simply observing the things in the effective manner. During the learning of Korean language I
used to put major focused over the social cognitive theory as it is helpful in order to develop
3

social interaction with other individuals. In this learner can acquire the new skills and
knowledge.
Constructive- This is relates to having our own perception in relation to based on perception of
the person. It is related to the individual experience and internal knowledge. Learning function
will be in relation to the interprets and creates the meaning of its own experience. I have seen
various phases at the time of learning the languages. This all help me to gather the experience
and knowledge in this relation. In addition to this, there are differed set of experiences and
perceptions with the help of this learner is able to develop his experience. It is simply the process
which works as to process of adjusting the mental models in order to accommodate the new
experience. In this the learner need to have consistent result so that he can able to do the things in
effective manner. To have effective learning in relation to the languages is not the easy task. The
learner need to experience the new things, new words and on the basis of this all he need to make
the command so that he is able to develop his potential. In addition to this, this is one of the
theory which relates to keep focussing over the people to sort out their issues. In this outcome are
not predictable because it is related to developing the potential of individual so that learning of
the new knowledge will be helpful to enhancing the things effectively. This kind of process sis
helpful in order to achieve the desired outcome.
Behavioural- This kind of learning process is relates to the observing the changes in the
behaviour of person. It can be known with the help of the response of the individual. This kind
of the association leader to changes in the behaviour of the individual. It believes that knowledge
exists outside and independently of people. There are number of consequences that works as to
observe the desired behaviour can be termed out to be as good grade to the learner (August &
Shanahan, 2017). Sometimes, I also get angry at the time it was typical to understand the
languages and develop the fluency. In addition to this it can be said that the process of depends
on the response from learner. Moreover, The changes in the behaviour will be reflect in the
manner between stimuli and response.
SECTION 3
Teacher characteristics- In order to learn effectively there will be requirement of good
teacher who will help to develop the knowledge of learner in the significance manner. In addition
to this, it can be said that learner will always lead to personality with the help of which they re
able to develop understanding, communication and this all things will be helpful in order to have
4

good outcome (Chapter 2. Diverse Teaching Strategies for Diverse Learners, 2016). The teacher
the person who is responsible to develop the learning in learner. If he is having the quality of
good speaker than strength of class will automatically cresses. The teacher who is engaging in
the working as to developing the knowledge of person in the field of languages, he must have
traits as patience and good teacher. This will help to learner to analyse the each thing effectively.
In addition to this, quality and characteristic of having good sense of humour will always be
helpful to learn the new things in fast manner. In this term teacher is responsible person in
manner to have effective interaction with child. This kind of interaction will be helpful in order
to create the environment which will help to create the satisfactory environment. The teacher
must have good communication skills so that he is able to convey his lectures with better skills.
He should be gentle, kind, chivalrous and benevolent person so that he can do each work with
respect.
Catering for learner diversity- diversity is one of the issue which is affecting the learning
process of learner. With the help of the being aware of the culture, language and social
interactions will help to prevent the learning of the things effectively. In order to cope up with
the issues of culture diversity the learner need to feel welcomed, affirmed, valued and respected.
This will b e helpful in order to develop self esteem.
CONCLUSION
Based on the above report it can be concluded that self learning is one of crucial process
in order to learn the new things effectively. Thus, it can be said that all are the learning theories
can able to understand effectively. This is helpful in order to enhance the level of knowledge of
learners. In addition to this, it is also inclusive of things as are to identify the impact over the
learning attitude of personal and the various factors which helps to promote effective learning in
the individual.
