Details Traditionally, research has focused on classroom management and teaching methods. However, in the 1980s, linguistics and pedagogy shifted their focus to the study of learners, and it was believed that learners' attitudes toward foreign language learning were influenced by the educational environment. This was the view of English-speaking researchers specializing in learning methods, who attempted to explore and analyze the behavior of foreign language learners and clarify the tasks they must perform during their learning. This article builds on these ideas.
