The Innatist Perspective Second Language Acquisition

Stephen Krashen's Theory of Second Language Acquisition

"Language acquisition does not require extensive use of conscious grammatical rules, and does not require tedious drill." Stephen Krashen

"... 'comprehensible input' is the crucial and necessary ingredient for the acquisition of language." Stephen Krashen

"Acquisition requires meaningful interaction in the target language - natural communication - in which speakers are concerned not with the form of their utterances but with the messages they are conveying and understanding." Stephen Krashen

Krashen's

monitor model

  • Influenced by Chomsky's theory
  • He first described this model in the early I970s, at a time when there was growing dissatisfaction with language teaching methods based on behaviorism.

Behaviorism X Innatism

ACQUISITION - LEARNING HYPOTHESIS

MONITOR HYPOTHESIS

The learned system acts as a 'monitor', making minor changes and polishing what the acquired system has produced.

We learn through conscious attention to form and rule learning

THE NATURAL ORDER HYPOTHESIS

AFFECTIVE FILTER HYPOTHESIS

The language features that are easiest to state, are not

necessarily the first to be acquired. (e.x present simple)

INPUT HYPOTHESIS

Is a metaphorical barrier that prevents learners from acquiring language even when appropriate input is available

It is occurs when one is exposed to

language that is comprehensible and that contains i + 1.

  • The 'i' represents the level of language already acquired and the '1' is a metaphor for language that is just a step beyond that level.
