Applying Alfred Korzybski's General Semantics to Language Teaching: Bridging Theory and Practice in Modern Classrooms

Author(s) Ms. Pratishruti S Singh
Country India
Abstract Alfred Korzybski's general semantics theory has significantly impacted numerous fields, such as education and linguistics. The following paper examines the use of Korzybski's theory in language instruction, focusing on their applicability in contemporary classrooms. The article illustrates how his abstracting, time-binding, and map-territory principles can be used to improve language learning and critical thinking. Concrete teaching methods integrating these principles are provided, proposing novel ways to encourage student interest and comprehension.
The inspiration for this paper is the increased necessity to unite theoretical linguistic theories with applied pedagogical methodologies. While rote learning takes center stage in most conventional approaches to language pedagogy, Korzybski's concepts promote a more analytical and contextualized methodology. This study is intended to cover this gap by suggesting new ways of making language learning both efficient and mentally challenging.
The future scope of this work includes empirical studies to evaluate the impact of these strategies on student learning outcomes. Additionally, the application of Korzybski’s ideas can extend to interdisciplinary education, fostering collaborations across subjects like science, history, and media studies. Such initiatives can further enrich educational practices, preparing students for complex communication challenges in a globalized world.
