but comprehensible input is different for different people isn't it Stephen? Doesn't the comprehensible input theory overlook the social complexity of individuals in a classroom? Anybody got any thoughts on this? Saw this for the first time by the way 21 years ago in a teacher development session in the Regent School Hove/Brighton and shortly afterwards we had a trip to Internationa House London to see a him giving a lecture. Good memories!

@EyeQue782 past-simple, present perfect, etc. can actually be quite possible to teach and simple depending on an array of factors. obviously Dr. Krashen was limited in resources such as time in explaining but his point was undoubtedly clear. comprehension is key instead of merely drilling grammar like all the behavioralist say to do. now yes, just gesturing is not effective in itself, but depending on the acquirer's experiences/needs, it can be highly effective.

[EyeQue782]

For that matter, let's see him teach someone how to use the past-simple, present perfect, or conditional tense using this method...

[EyeQue782]

The point to be made here is not a single person here learned a bit of German from this video... Just because he gestures does not mean you have acquired the language. If you watched this video on mute you would know what he was talking about simply because he is gesturing. This is not language acquisition...
