Abstract:

This article is aimed at looking at some modern Second Language Acquisition approaches that are considered to form the theoretical basis of the second language teaching. We assume that each of the approaches alone could not be deemed as all-sufficient, however we strongly believe that behaviorism, acculturation, Universal Grammar theory as well as the theory of available acquisition, interaction teaching, representation theory, connectionism and social theory may be creatively adjusted by every advanced educator within the context of their and their students’ objectives to allow for their progress towards the “edge chaos” – a creativity space with the ultimate educational outcome.
