Second Language Acquisition: Krashen’s Monitor Model and the Natural Approach
PEOPLE: International Journal of Social Sciences
The second language can be defined as any other language which is learned or acquired after their first language or their mother tongue. Learning or acquiring a second language can be a difficult task for anybody that wishes to speak or write in a language other than their first language. Teachers should have the basic knowledge of second language acquisition theories to provide a comprehensive teaching and learning environment to students. One of the most applied and well-accepted theories is Stephen’s Krashen’s theory of second language acquisition. The present study was carried out as an observation on students to address the importance of Krashen’s Monitor Model and the Natural Approach in the stages of second language development to ensure effective teaching of the second language. The findings show that the cause of the input factor should be taken into consideration when teaching a second language/foreign language. The findings also indicated that cooperative learning can be ...

Merrill Swain, who coined the Output Hypothesis, has been one of the important figures in the Second Language Acquisition field. She propounded her theory as complementary to Stephen Krashen’s Input Hypothesis suggesting that learners cannot attain full grammatical competence merely through input processing in a language. The Output Hypothesis has been quite successful in terms of shedding some light on unanswered questions related to output. However, there are still some deficiencies in interpreting what the hypothesis intended to explain. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to critically review the Output Hypothesis by concentrating on the deficiency of an operational definition of comprehensible output, scarcity of output instances and problems arising from forcing learners to produce language.

Today’s societies are characterized by cultural and linguistic diversity and schools are places where different groups meet. Two similar proposals in the United States and Latin America have emerged in this regard: Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT) and Intercultural Bilingual Education (IBE). This work of bibliographical review compares both paradigms using the Comparative Method. Specifically, it contrasts their goals, historical backgrounds, and language teaching aspects concerning the Second Language Acquisition field. There were found strong differences in all areas. Regarding the goals, CRT is mostly concerned about school performance, while IBE focuses on political-cultural revindications. About the historical background, CRT has been close to academia and IBE is mainly a result of social mobilization. In language teaching, CRT possesses a strong research tradition and solid scientific foundations. IBE presents scientific weaknesses and dispersion, as well as a lack of consensus. Regarding SLA, both paradigms are influenced by Commin´s notions of BICS and CALP and immersive bilingualism, Krashen’s hypotheses, and Vygotsky’s socio-cultural perspective and Zone of Proximal Development. The findings point out that these differences are related to the groups involved in the historical development and the way they emerged. Both paradigms should establish a dialog to strengthen each other.

Whether corrective feedback is effective in L2 writing has always been a controversial issue among Second Language Acquisition (SLA) scholars despite a vast body of research investigating the issue. This conflict is rooted in the fact that different researchers subscribe to different theories of SLA which are at times contradictory in nature. The present article reviews and investigates major SLA theories with respect to their views and stance toward the efficacy of Written Corrective Feedback (WCF) and error correction in second language writing. Many of these theories do not address the role of corrective feedback explicitly or merely focus on the role of oral feedback. Polio (2012) and Bitchener and Ferris (2012) have partially investigated the issue at stake reviewing a number of SLA theories. In this study, however, attempt is made to shed light on the role of WCF especially in the theories which are not directly concerned with L2 writing.

The purpose of this qualitative study was to identify the EFL learners’ practices and understand their experiences with SNSs (social networking sites) as a tool for English language learning. The study was conducted in richer information and a deeper insight was gained through a qualitative case study. In the qualitative phase, 12 participants were purposefully selected and interviewed in order to explain further the statistical results, develop a rich descriptive picture of their lived experiences using social networking to improve their English language learning, and identify the factors and barriers that influence their practices. This study was guided by the following research question: How do these Facebook practices affect their language learning experiences? The results revealed that most participants felt comfortable using Facebook in English language learning. However, less than half of them used Facebook on a regular basis to learn English. In addition, they tended to read...
The purpose of this qualitative study is to explore the perceptions of ESL teachers regarding the use of educational mobile applications to help ESL elementary school students develop their language skills. Qualitative data were collected through in-depth interviews from eight ESL teachers from different schools in Carbondale. Participants reported positive perceptions of using educational mobile applications to develop the language skills of students. This study provides some recommendations for the successful integration of technology in English learning and teaching. Article visualizations:

Krashen claims that learners with high motivation, self-confidence, a good self-image, and a low level of anxiety are better equipped for success in second language acquisition. Low motivation, low self-esteem, and debilitating anxiety can combine to 'raise' the affective filter and form a 'mental block' that prevents comprehensible input from ...

This paper aims at revealing the factors that contribute to children's language acquisition of either their first or second language.

Krashen is most widely known for his "comprehensible input" hypothesis, which suggests that learners acquire language by taking in and understanding language that is "just beyond" their current level of competence. Krashen defines comprehensible input as 'i+1', where 'I' is the current level of proficiency and '+1' is the level of ...

Keywords: homogeneity hypothesis, monitor model, second language acquisition, mental lexicon, American accent, British accent 1. Introduction Second Language Acquisition (SLA) theories are of three principal types: linguistic, psychological, and sociocultural (Gass & Selinker, 2008). Krashen's monitor model is an innate linguistic theory.
The acquisition-learning hypothesis implies that conscious learning plays a comparatively minor role in second language learning. Acquiring a language is more successful and longer lasting than learning. It is, therefore, more important to focus on meaningful communication. Focus on language forms is less important.
Stimulated by the apparent parallels between Krashen's theory of second-language acquisition and the process of first-language acquisition, a number of researchers have begun to apply Krashen's work to the development of first-language writing skills. 4 Included among these is Krashen himself.

The most remarkable theory which aims to offer an overall explanation for SLA is Krashen's Monitor Theory. As documented by the professional literature, although it has received a great deal of criticism, this theory has had a great influence on all aspect of second language research and teaching since the 1980s. Krashen's theory seems

III. Challenges to Krashen's Theory Several of Krashen's key tenets have been challenged since their publication in early 1980's. One element of Krashen's theory that has not been embraced by researchers or educators is the idea that language production plays no significant role in language acquisition (Swain,1995).
Chapters 6 and 7 discuss the relevant affective factors analyzed in second language acquisition theory and detail Stephen Krashen's recent proposals for a comprehensive theory of second language acquisition. The final chapter reviews the entire theory, summarizes the evidence, and outlines the agenda for further research.
