Hi:) Group D (Meg, Sunny, Jung)
1. What are the five hypotheses that constitute what Krashen originally called the 'monitor model'?
2. According to Krasen, which one is the more important process between 'acquisition' and 'learning'? Why?
3. What is the 'affective filter'?
D.Q
Do you agree or disagree with the following Krashen's assertion?
One acquires language in only one way - by exposure to comprehensible input.
It is very easy to find out:)
Q1: There are the acquisition-learning hypothesis,the monitor hypothesis, the natural order hypothesis,the input hypothesis and the affective filter hypothesis.
ReplyDeleteQ2:Acquisiton is more important than learning because all the learning cannot turn into acquisition.
Q3: Affective filter is an imaginary barrier which prevents learners from acquiring language from the aailable input, and it depends on the learner's state of mind or disposition, the filter limits what is noticed waht is acquired.

;There are 5 hypotheses on Krashen’s “Monitor Model.” Firstly, the acquisition-learning hypothesis; we acquire as we are exposed to samples of the second language which we understand. Only acquired language is readily available for natural and fluent communication. Secondly, the monitor hypothesis; the acquired system acts to initiate the speaker’s utterances and is responsible for fluency and intuitive judgments about correctness. It focuses of language teaching should be on creating conditions for “acquisition’ rather than ‘learning’. Thirdly, the natural order hypothesis, I will skip it because of Adam’s order, Next one is the input hypothesis, Krashen asserts that one acquires language in only one way-by exposure to comprehensible input. Finally there is the affective filter hypothesis, Krashen retained the input hypothesis but it has a problem. If some people who are exposed to extensive comprehensible input but do not achieve high levels of proficiency so that Krashen developed this last hypothesis. The ‘affective filter’ is an imaginary barrier which prevents learners from acquiring language from the available input. Thus, depending on the learner’s state of mind or disposition, the filter limits what is noticed and what is acquired.
D/Q; I agree with Krashen's Monitor Model. When he said "Even though there are extensive comprehensible input, not everyone cannot get high level of proficiency so that their is affective filter on L2 learners." I totally agree with that. When I was Australia every Korean friends were exposured to native language environment but only some of friends still keep proficiency.
ReplyDelete1. the acquisition - learning hypothesis, the monitor hypothesis, the natural order hypothesis, the input hypothesis and the affective filter hypothesis.
ReplyDelete2. He said acquision is more important. The reason is that only acquired language is readily available for natural, fluent communication.
3. It is an imaginary barrier which prevents learners from acquiring language from the available input.
DQ. I agree with that. eventhough people are exposed to extensive comprehensible input, some learners can't achieve success.

1. hypothesis
- is an idea which is suggested as a possible explanation for a particular situation or condition, but which has not yet been proved to be correct.
- some kind of theory suggested as assumption
2. acquisition
- The acquisition of a skill or a particular type of knowledge is the process of learning it or developing it.
- I think It's similar to obtain, get
3. utterance
- In spoken language analysis an utterance is a smallest unit of speech. It is a continuous piece of speech beginning and ending with a clear pause. In the case of oral languages, it is generally but not always bounded by silence.
- someone's saying
4. intuition
- is unexplained feelings you have that something is true even when you have no evidence or proof of it.
5. extensive
- Something that is extensive covers or includes a large physical area. It is same as various, many kind of
6. affective
- concerned with or arousing the emotions or affection
7. empirical
- Empirical evidence or study relies on practical experience rather than theories, similar to objective
