Abstract

This essay focuses on exploring the application of information processing theory in the second language (L2) classroom. It begins by providing an overview of the historical context of information processing and assessing its influence on teaching and learning. Subsequently, the essay presents a detailed analysis of the advantages and limitations of this approach through exemplifying instances where information processing theory has been employed in teaching and learning contexts.
