Stephen Krashen
3 Things You Found Out
- Krashen claims that humans have an innate ability that guides the language learning process. For example, infants learn their mother tongue simply by listening attentively to spoken language
- Theory of second language acquisition consists of five main hypotheses :
-the Acquisition-Learning hypothesis,
-the Monitor hypothesis,
-the Input hypothesis,
-the Natural Order hypothesis,
-the Affective Filter hypothesis. - It was interesting for me to know that Steven Krashen created Three Approaches to Method:
-Theory of second language acquisition
-Applied linguistics research
-Ideas and intuitions from experience
- The Acquisition-Learning hypothesis.There are two ways of developing language ability by acquisition and by learning. According to Krashen learned language cannot be turned into acquisition. We can not spend lot of time by learning grammar rules because this will not help us.
- Krashen said that children learn to read most efficiently by exposure to interesting stories that are made to them through pictures and discussions

Hello Yelena. I like the way you organized this. Bilingual education seems to be a regular practice here in Kazakhstan but is not required in U.S. schools. Your blog looks great so far - love the background!

ReplyDeleteI remember when I went to China and helped teach english in classes. They did half of their classes in english and half in Chinese for a Bilingual classroom! Its awesome to see something similar happen in Kazakhstan.
