Conclusion: The Study of Three Linguistic Theories

# data[].attributes.body
The study of Structural Linguistics, Universal Grammar, and Systemic Functional Linguistics reveals how different linguistic theories shape our understanding of language acquisition and teaching. Each framework offers unique insights, methodologies, and implications for language education, emphasizing distinct aspects of language structure, cognitive aspects, and social components.

A comprehensive approach to language education should balance these theories, combining structured grammatical instruction, natural input exposure, and practical language use. By integrating key insights from each framework, educators may design effective curricula that can support both linguistic competence and real-world communication.
