Education Technology
Ever since humans started teaching and learning from others, different techniques have begun to appear. As early as the prehistoric age, the first technique came to be: imitation. When a rudimentary language developed in the form of growls, grunts, and signals, primitive men were for the first time able to communicate with one another, learn from each other and teach each other as well. Learning was and still is a matter of survival, and education is an important part of every person’s life.

Learning Theory
Learning is commonly defined as a combination of constructivism, behaviorism, and cognitivism. It is a process in which emotional, environmental, and cognitive elements are brought together. It is a process in which one’s knowledge, views, and skills are changed. A theory that describes the learning processes of animals and human beings is known as a learning theory. Learning theories serve two functions. One is to provide conceptual framework and vocabulary. The other is to provide suggestions to solve practical problems. Learning theories do not provide us with the solutions to the problems but show the way and the direction to solve the problems. The main fields of learning theories are behaviorism, constructivism and cognitivism.

Learning Language
Learning a new language has always been considered a challenging task. The difficulty lies not just in picking up new words but also in picking up correct grammatical usages. The intricacies of language vary starkly as one moves from occidental languages to oriental languages. Not to mention the myriad scripts that are prevalent today in various languages like English, Russian, Arabic, Cantonese, Korean, Japanese, Hindi, etc. It would be worth mentioning that India alone is home to over 1000 languages and an equally large number of scripts.
