(Elementary English teacher)
What I would consider a really successful English learning would imply the development of the 4 abilities in an integrated way and the possibility of applying what students have learned in different contexts. This can be made by designing learning activities (to develop the 4 skills) around a topic of the students's interests. Success should be measured to the extent they can produce oral or written texts based on the information (content, grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, etc) they have learned from the activities, and also from their capacity to understand written and oral texts they read or listen to and to react and give opinions about some issues.
A bad learning would the opposite of what I have outlined before, that is it would be one that is solely based on one component of the language, for example only grammar or a list of vocabulary words out of context, without incorporating activities through which they can create or produce texts (orally and in a written form). Activities which lead to memoristic learning is an example of bad learning.
