Cognitive psychological theory of law is based on the occurrence of Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget (Jean Piaget, 1925) theory, the basic structure of American psychologist Bruner (JSBrunei, 1962) and found that the theory; linguistics The theory is based on Chomsky's transformational generative grammar rules. The American psychologist Karur (JBCarroll, 1964.) First proposed the Cognitive Approach. Cognitive Approach to Language Learning as an intellectual activity, mental activity is proactive, rather than simply a habit. Left the intelligence, the question of language and language learning.

The cognitive Law: students in the learning and use of language, especially in the process of learning grammar, to give full play to their enthusiasm and initiative. To achieve the purpose of the actual master a foreign language, teaching should follow the following basic principles: 1 student-centered; 2.
