Abstract

Learning is the process which connects all the poles of the model. Its description in the book has been placed between its object, one of our poles, language (L2 in a plurilingual context in our case), and the learner, our second pole, whose specific problems cannot be understood if the process has not been clarified. This second pole will be dealt with in this chapter. We should perhaps refer to learners in the plural if we accept the tenets of LeDoux (2003) when he says that in neurobiological terms all humans are similar in their construction, but that the multiplicity and variety of their experiences makes it impossible to study their actual psychological processes according to general universal principles. A learning cycle has been proposed in which learning is symbolized by the arrows. Defining the position of the learners regarding the cycle is more problematic. They experience the cycle in order to learn L2, their experience can only be described in individual terms as they follow the arrows.
