Stream Of Consciousness Technique and Modern Novel: Psychological and Methodological Perspectives on Language Learning

Abstract

The main thesis of this commentary relates to the great influence of Literature, both fiction and literary criticism, and especially the stream of consciousness phenomenon in learning a foreign language. In desire to express the huge influences of literature, the stream of consciousness technique and human mental activities on learning foreign language, the author of this review tries partly to explain the basic thesis as the individual component of the complex and unbreakable connection among these three categories (literature, applied linguistics and psychology) covered by the mantle of cultural codex. The book entitled Globalization and management in foreign language learning process: English at the beginning of the third millennium by Dr. Slobodanka Djolic brings together a combination of divergent theoretical and practical approaches to the foreign language learning process and to the complex psychological phenomenon- stream of consciousness- in an era in which this phenomenon has become a landmark of literary theory. Really, the book is an methodological innovation which expresses the process of learning foreign languages as the equivalent of stream of consciousness writing technique through the prism of psychoanalytical approach to the spontaneous assimilation of different issues surrounding this phenomenon, appearing in the human psych as the part of conscious consciousness, unconscious consciousness or sub-consciousness. All these parameters participate in the learning process but mainly we cannot define them consciously. I. Psychoanalytical And Literary Approaches To The Stream Of Consciousness Phenomenon
