Here is a site which discusses learning theories: I think you
already have enough information about learning theories. What
you need to do now is to think of how these theories are useful
for us to learn a language. (as you rightly say "theories is
useful in your own learning of English"} If you go to google.com
and search for "learning theories" + "language teaching" you
will get a lot of sites with useful information. For example
have a look at this page: http://www.google.com/search There is
a PowerPoint Presentation on this page which discusses different
learning theories. If you download the PPT file and watch the
Presentation you will get the gist of each learning theory. For
example you will get to know that 1. doing a language drill in
the class is based on behaviouristic learning theory 2. giving a
problem solving task for students is based on cognitive learning
theory 3. asking the students to talk about their own likes and
dislikes is based on affective learning theory. Find some
