摘要：This paper makes an endeavor to illuminate how chaos theory can give advantages toSLA and education. Chaos theory tries to explain how disorder contributes to order and chaosscientists investigate how disorder gives ways to order. Thirty years ago, it was proposed in thestudy of natural sciences and nowadays linguistics tends to use this model to find disorder to reachorder in SLA and educational systems since language learning is a dynamic system and a naturalprocess that contains order and chaos. This theory teaches teachers to expect unpredictablephenomena in order to know how they can cope with chaotic situations. We want to have a betterunderstanding of what occurs in SLA classroom and whether we can predict the problematic issuesby grasping the features and principles of chaos theory and how we can reflect and what we shouldexpect in the classroom. We are eager to know the influence of feedback, butterfly effect, andfractals on teaching and learning. The twelve features of chaos theory and their implications forSLA classroom have been mentioned.
