Second Language Acquisition Theory
Second Language Acquisition Theory
Krashen's hypotheses
It is a system that monitors and analyses our output.
Affective filter
There is an order of acquisition of grammatical structures.
Comprehensible input
Series of variables, such as motivation and anxiety that affect the acquistion of a second language.
Monitor
There are two different systems. One is unconscious, the other is conscious.
Acquisition-Learning
The new content must be at a slightly higher level than the learner's current knowledge.
Natural order
Krashen's SLA is based on
3 Krashen's hypotheses
When a student is anxious and worried, the affective filter is low
True
False
Monitor users
They don't care about correctness.
Over users
They use the monitor all the time.
Under users
They use the monitor only when necessary.
Optimal users

Kinds of Monitor Users
L1 and L2
L1
Occurs later in life
L2
Occurs at early age
The proper functioning of the monitor depends on the following conditions:
"Taken a random element of a sequence, all the elements that come before that point, are necessary condition for being able to acquire it". This statement corresponds to the
Chomsky Universal Grammar is a system of human language that differs from language to language.
