Week 8. Group C

Hello. Yeji, Elly and Jenny. 
This is Esther as a discussion leader for this week. 
I am so glad to share the Krashen's Monitor model together. 

Comprehension Question

1. What are 5 Hypotheses about the monitor model by Krashen?

2. What are 3 specifications when learners use the monitor? 

3. What is the definition of affective filter? 


Disscution Question

1. Why is monitor model so important to know for language learning? 
Please share your idea or situation about the monitor hypothesis in your real life when people use English.

    1. They are The acquisition-learning hypothesis, The monitor hypothesis, The natural order hypothesis, The input hypothesis and The affective filter hypothesis.

    2.Learners use the monitor only when they are focused more on being 'correct' than on what they have to say, when they have sufficient time to search their memory for the relevant rules, and when they actually know those rules!

    3.The affective filter is an imaginary barrier which prevents learners from acquiring language from the available input.

    *Discussion questoin*
    Monitor model is significant in that it can have a influence on learner's language fluency. I think, when I say, my monitor often works preety quickly so, self error correction happens a lot and it sometimes makes my speech speed slow.

    By krashen's acquisition- learning hypothesis, acquisition and learning is totally different and we ,as a teacher, had better focus on acquisition. When we apply this hypothesis to our class, CLT approach can be a good example. One of the goals of CLT is to establish authentic context in order for students to develop their communicative competence and by establishing the context, teachers can let students be exposed to the L2 environment naturally.

    3. the definition of affective filter: The affective filter is an imaginary barrier which prevents learners from acquiring language from the available input.

    Disscution Question
    It is important because we can understand why people is successful when they learn. This means that we can lead others who is not successful to achieve thir goal while they learn.
    As a teacher, predicting the student's learning procedure is critical to help them learn more.

    1. innatist : innatist is related to Innatism. Innatism is a philosophical doctrine that holds that the mind is born with ideas/knowledge, and that therefore the mind is not a 'blank slate' at birth, as early empiricists. It asserts therefore that not all knowledge is obtained from experience and the senses.

    -The difference between innatism and nativism

    In general usage, the terms innatism and nativism are synonymous as they both refer to notions of preexisting ideas present in the mind. However, more correctly,[citation needed] innatism refers to the philosophy of Plato and Descartes, who assumed that a God or a similar being or process placed innate ideas and principles in the human mind.

    Nativism represents an adaptation of this, grounded in the fields of genetics, cognitive psychology and psycholinguistics. Nativists hold that innate beliefs are in some way genetically programmed to arise in our mind - that innate beliefs are the phenotypes of certain genotypes that all humans have in common.


    2. Hypothesis : A hypothesis (plural hypotheses) is a proposed explanation for a phenomenon. For a hypothesis to be a scientific hypothesis, the scientific method requires that one can test it. Scientists generally base scientific hypotheses on previous observations that cannot satisfactorily be explained with the available scientific theories. Even though the words "hypothesis" and "theory" are often used synonymously, a scientific hypothesis is not the same as a scientific theory. A scientific hypothesis is a proposed explanation of a phenomenon which still has to be rigorously tested. In contrast, a scientific theory has undergone extensive testing and is generally accepted to be the accurate explanation behind an observation.

    [1] [citation needed] A working hypothesis is a provisionally accepted hypothesis proposed for further research.
    [2] A different meaning of the term hypothesis is used in formal logic, to denote the antecedent of a proposition; thus in the proposition "If P, then Q", P denotes the hypothesis (or antecedent); Q can be called a consequent. P is the assumption in a (possibly counterfactual) What If question.

    The adjective hypothetical, meaning "having the nature of a hypothesis", or "being assumed to exist as an immediate consequence of a hypothesis", can refer to any of these meanings of the term "hypothesis".
    3. constitute :
    verb (used with object), con·sti·tut·ed, con·sti·tut·ing.

    to compose; form: mortar constituted of lime and sand.

    to appoint to an office or function; make or create: He was constituted treasurer.

    to establish (laws, an institution, etc.).

    to give legal form to (an assembly, court, etc.).

    to create or be tantamount to: Imports constitute a challenge to local goods.

    4. Citation : Broadly, a citation is a reference to a published or unpublished source (not always the original source). More precisely, a citation is an abbreviated alphanumeric expression embedded in the body of an intellectual work that denotes an entry in the bibliographic references section of the work for the purpose of acknowledging the relevance of the works of others to the topic of discussion at the spot where the citation appears. Generally the combination of both the in-body citation and the bibliographic entry constitutes what is commonly thought of as a citation (whereas bibliographic entries by themselves are not). References to single, machine-readable assertions in electronic scientific articles are known as nanopublications, a form of microattribution.

    Citation has several important purposes: to uphold intellectual honesty (or avoiding plagiarism), to attribute prior or unoriginal work and ideas to the correct sources, to allow the reader to determine independently whether the referenced material supports the author's argument in the claimed way, and to help the reader gauge the strength and validity of the material the author has used

  6. 5.substantiate:
    To support with proof or evidence; verify: substantiate an accusation. See Synonyms at confirm.
    To give material form to; embody.
    To make firm or solid.
    To give substance to; make real or actual.

    6.empirical: derived from or guided by experience or experiment.
    depending upon experience or observation alone, without using scientific method or theory, especially as in medicine.
    provable or verifiable by experience or experiment.

    7. acquisition: An acquisition is something you acquire—a book, a skill or if you are a mogul, a company. It describes things you have purchased, things you have learned, or things you have got.

    Acquisition has a formal sense to it. We don't talk about our new jeans as our latest acquisition, unless we are the kind of person who refers to their latest copy of Vogue as their Bible. It is very commonly used to refer to paintings purchased by museums—in fact, large museums have acquisition departments.

  7. Comprehension Question.

    1. Five hypothesis includes the acquisition-learning hypothesis, the monitor hypothesis, the natural order hypothesis, the input hypothesis, and the affectivie filter hypothesis.

    2. By Krashen, learners use the monitor only when they are focused more on being 'correct' than on what they have to say, when they have sufficient time to search their memory for the relevant rules, and when they actually know those rules.

    3. The affective filter is an imaginary barrier which prevents learners from acquiring language from the available input.

    "Discussion Question."

    For improving proficiency, it is acquired to develop not only fluency but also accuracy in language learning. Monitor is helpful to improve learners' accuracy. Monitor makes students correct their errors themselves and use language correctly.

  8. * Summarizer."

    Monitor model is proposed by Stephen Krashen and there are five hypotheses : the acquisition-learning hypothesis, the monitor hypothesis, the natural order hypothesis, the input hypothesis, and the affective filter hypothesis.
    According to acquisition-learning hypothesis and the monitor hypothesis, there are two way to develop knowledge of a language: acquisition and learning. Acquisition is to acquire the language without conscious attention to form. Learning is to know rules and be attention to form. This learned system is used only as monitor that help students correct errors and know the rules while acquired system is responsible for fluency. Next, Krashen asserted that learners should be exposed to comprehension input and the input containing forms and structures just beyond the learner's current level ( i +1) can make a learner acquire a language. Lastly, he asserted that high affective filter can interrupt their acquisition. Affectivie filter can be caused by tenseness, anxiety, and so on. If affective filter is down by being relaxed and motivated, learners will be acquire better. These hypotheses by Krashen have been influential to communicative language teaching.
