Activity sequencing patterns in teaching materials have traditionally been absent in academic discussions and have received no attention by researchers and language teaching practitioners. More recent studies on cognitive knowledge acquisition suggest, however, that pedagogical sequencing is relevant and may severely affect efficiency in the learning of foreign languages. If knowledge acquisition is governed by specific patterns, the learning �and hence teaching� of foreign languages cannot but comply with those patterns. In this article we will firstly begin with two well consolidated theories on knowledge acquisition �rationalism and empiricism�, and associate them to the general cognitive models most widely recognised nowadays, particula...
