1. children's language has been widely recognised to be different from second language aquisition. saying that this is what everyone did for their first lang is no breakthrough on krashens part. talk about repeating the obvious.
2.if this an affective way of learning languages listen to alexaparrag's channel and get back to me. theres millions of examples where people pidginise despite krashens rules.
its too bad that krashens 5 hypothesis have been widely REJECTED by the majority of linguists. especially since he provides no research to back them up or infact shows any intention of doing so. also, the affective filter hypothesis... get out of jail card surely... especially since terror worked well for the russians in WWII for learning languages.... want to check this for yourself?
Yeah, he provides no evidence other than the fact that almost every human being on Earth, including you, did these things to learn their first language. Successful second language learners also did these things. If most linguists reject these hypotheses, it's because they have to "publish or perish". They would kill their careers by just repeating the obvious, even it it's true. So they nitpick for profit, and some people accept it without thinking.
It gives me unalloyed pleasure to be the only Lecturer of English in Egypt who follows in Dr. Stephen Krashen's steps in minute scrutiny. I've almost read each and every word he has written on Second Language Acquisition. I have also come to believe that Krashen is probably one of the best language professors on earth! Whatever people say about Krashen and his theories, I will cleave, unceasingly, to them till death.
Why have I never heard of this guy until five minutes ago? It's incredible that the message he preaches here is still being ignored today in language-teaching at my school (and, presumably, other schools). I hated and did poorly in French and Spanish because they did that "copy, read, be picked out to speak aloud" nonsense. Now I'm teaching myself Hindi and I've learnt more in a year than I did in three with Spanish. I learnt more Spanish in 4 weeks in Peru than in 3 years in class...
@MrGrinningManiac u kno ur situation is exactly my situation, with the exception hating and doing poorly in French and Spanish, now im teaching myself Hindi and ur results are my results i hate the way they teach in schools where I live...
@MrGrinningManiac , He is one of the most prolific and well-known researchers in Second Language Acquisition. You can find many books and articles by him.
A message of Elias Canetti from his book "Crowds & Power" hidden in a part about transformation:
"Every complete unknown language is a kind of acoustic mask; as soon one learns it, it becomes a face, understandable and soon familiar".
'Acoustic', hearing fine is crucial for a smooth conversation. The 'mask' is a cause for many forms anxiety (irritation, mistrust). It's not only true for foreign languages but also for unknown words (rigid jargon) in our own language.
A todos los wanna b English teachers que andan por aqui topen esto , es algo de lo inclui en mi syllabus cuando di la materia de didactica de las lenguas el cuatrimestre pasado en la Lic. de idiomas en la Universidad Bancaria.
This is great! It completely explains why I feel comfortable speaking in Spanish with my friends, but choked on the oral exam, as my professor took notes.
Thank you mrounds5 -so-oooooo much -for posting this video. In the past two days I have read hundreds of words by other people attempting to explain "comprehensible input." I still didn't know exactly what it was. The examples were always in the i + 1 form, which meant zilch to me. And, here within the first 3 minutes of this video, I've got it. We need to understand "messages;" we need to understand "what" is said. So simple out of the horse's mouth. Thanks again.
just stop moving the camera already! really!
This is a wonderful video, content-wise, though.

In my opinion Dr. Stephen Krashen does genuinely embody everything I utterly admire in a professor, activist, linguist and--on top of that--man!
