Question 3

Acquisition vs. Learning Hypothesis

Stephen Krashen

Answer 3

children naturally acquire L1 without being taught anything, and that students of L2 can do the same.

Question 4

Acquisition vs. Learning Hypothesis

Language Acquisition

language acquisition is a subconscious process that does not require tedious drills, memorization, or extensive and conscious use of grammatical rules.

Question 5

Acquisition vs. Learning Hypothesis

Language Acquisition

Answer 5

is a conscious process that requires memorization and learning rules but does not necessarily result in giving the learner any communicative skills. A child does not learn how to ride a bike by studying its parts, he learns by trying to ride it.

Question 6

Input + 1 Hypothesis by Krashen

Answer 6

students of a second language alike acquire language almost entirely by being exposed to language that is slightly beyond what we already understand, hence the term +1.

Question 7

Krashen Affective Filter Hypothesis

Answer 7

Language acquisition and interaction take place most effectively when the affective (stress)filter of the student is low.

Question 8

Output Hypothesis

Answer 8

“output may stimulate learners to move from the semantic, open-ended, nondeterministic, strategic processing prevalent in comprehension to the complete grammatical processing needed for accurate production. Output, thus, would seem to have potentially significant role in development of syntax and morphology. (Swain)

The act of creating speech to express thoughts in her head requires a higher level of ability, more “complete grammatical processing”. In other words, in order to earn to speak a language, you have to speak it.

Question 9

negotiation sequence

Answer 9

misunderstanding can be viewed as positive occurrences, as long as they result in continued conversation to try to resolve the misunderstandings. . Is usually because of these little misunderstandings that two speakers enter into negotiations that result in one or both of them improving their comprehension or oral production.
