One of the major intentions for this paper is to counter the currently prevailing, so-called ‘scientific’, approach to language learning, with its emphasize on objectives, detailed curricular prescription, predictable outcomes, testing and assessment, bureaucratic control , and the rest. I wish to contrast such ‘scientific’ approaches unfavorably with intuitive/aesthetic approaches.
