What is taught is what is learned

 

I deny this assumption.

In my opinion, Learning is not a limited process. In our life we not only learn from the text and module books environment, social circle, culture, and the media are the most effective ways to learn.

In a formal way of learning like schooling and academic education, information is objective and fixed. It is based on a curriculum or syllabus completed by students under the guidance of teachers to get good academic grades whereas learning is a process to gain acquisition of knowledge or any skills through study and experience. It is not a limited process or activity for example

Anyone who is a graduate in Physics has a job abroad or any eastern country where English is not a common language and he wants to learn the language of that country. He will learn basic at the institute and practice it in his daily life to become fluent in speaking or writing besides of his observation and experience of that country culture.

In a typical study system is controlled and normally followed by the route learning process. Many of the student has forgotten all the information after completing his/her course because they only process and memorized the information to pass the examination. They were not practicing it in daily life.

 

If we observed the students who have learned from English medium schools are more fluent in speaking, whereas students who graduated from their native language schools and study English as a second language were shy to speak or write. As they memorized some important and objective information about grammar and comprehension like applications, essays, punctuations, grammar rules, and essential vocabulary. In the first example of English medium school students are more creative and critical thinkers than ordinary school students who have passive thinking. Because English Medium School student applying 80/20 formula and ordinary school students only loaded their minds with information and tried to memorized that for their needs. They are not enjoying the beauty of language.

If a teacher gives the task to the students to present some particular idea and only give them objective information about the idea. The student comes up with sensible information aside from what he’s been taught. His presentation is based on what he understands, his reading, observation, research, and guidance from his parents and peers. Student sum up the all relevant information and present his idea with elegance and creativity.

Some additional information is also helpful for students to improve their language learning. Apart from what they learn in class, they also have to do extra readings, worksheets and online language apps to improve their language skills.

So the learning is not limited process to what we thought in classroom.
