Group A: Dianne, Amy, Kimberly_Week 9 'The output hypothesis'

These are the comprehension questions.

1.     What is are four ways the output (producing language) might play in a role in the process of second language learning?

2.     State at least two evidences, Krashen mentioned adding wring to reading based methods have not been shown positive effect on language development.

3.     How club membership is acquired, and how the club membership has been shown in birdsong?

Discussion Question

What do you think about that the comprehensible output might elicit more of comprehensible input through communicating with interlocutors? (Also I am curious about that based on comprehensible hypothesis, how is it possible that learners use the monitor without output and feedback?)

Week 8_ Krashen's 'Monitor Model'_Group D

Hello, Group D (Hannah, Lena) :)

# There are three comprehension questions below.

1. According to the acquisition-learning hypothesis, what are the difference between 'acquisition' and 'learning'.

2. Krashen asserts that in certain circumstances, learners acts as a monitor. Find them out and give at least two examples.

3. If you say to the learner that his filter is 'up' or 'down', how will you describe each learner's attitude?


# This is the discussion question we're going to think of.

DQ : Krashen asserts that 'acquisition' and 'learning' are the way for adult learners to develop of a second language. However, he highlights that acquisition is far more important and that learning cannot turn into acquisition.

As an ESL teacher who mostly deals with L2 learners, do you agree with (underlying) his idea or not? If not, give your opinion with supporting ideas.    


If you have any questions, feel free to let me know.
I'm really sorry to upload it too late.

Have a great day!

Week 8 Post. Krashen's 'monitor model'

Hello, Group E (Haeyun, Sunyoung)

These are three comprehension questions.

      Q 1. What are the five hypothesis of Krashen's monitor model?

      Q 2. What did Krashen think the only one way to acquire language is?

      Q 3. What is the definition of 'affective filter' in Krashen's hypothesis?

This is a discussion question.

      Q 1. Do you agree Krashen's opinion that acquisition and learning are independent  

             and they don't affect each other?

Week 8 Posts._ Krashen's Monitor Model(Group B)

Hello, Group B! (Mia, Ellie, Esther)

Here are three comprehension questions I give you as a discussion leader.

Q1. According to Stephen Krashen(1982), what are five hypotheses?

Q2. Does 'Acquisition' means 'learning'? If not, what is the difference between 'acquisition' and 'learning'?

Q3. What is the Krashen hypothesis's problem?

 

And here is a discussion question. Can we prove hypotheses's evidence like affective factors?

Group A: Dianne, Seo Youn, Kimberly_Krashen's 'Monitor Model'

Comprehension Questions
1. According to Krashen, there are two ways for adult second language learners to develop knowledge of a second language. What are those and how are those two different?

2. Under which system, 'Monitor' acts? What is the purpose of monitor and when does this happen?

3. According to Krashen, what is the only way to acquire language and which level of it is appropriate for the learners to develop language?

Discussion Question
4. Within the framework of the affective filter, how can you explain imbalance of success in language learning among learners? As a ESL/EFL teacher, how can we make envrionment not to be up the learners' affective filter?

If you have any questions or unclear points regarding my questions, please don't hesitate to contact me via email, kimbk0326@gmail.com. :-)

HAPPY CHU-SEOK!!! Let's get fattttt!!!!!!

For those who have hard time to create new post.

Hello, G5.
I had hard time to create new post so I want to share the way I did.

First of all, I used Chrome which you can download at any webpage because I couldn't see '글쓰기' icon on Internet Explore webpage. Even, I was successful to create new post, however, I couldn't type letter and saw error code. I am pretty sure that you're gonna happy about Chrome's much faster speed than IE.

As you can see my email address, 글쓰기, 로그아웃 icon on the top of right side.
Click "글쓰기", write, and "게시" not "저장".

Happy 추석!

Week 8 Posts._ Krashen's Monitor Model

Hello, Group C!(Emily, Tei, and Eunjoo)

There are my questions.

1. What is different between 'acquisiton' and 'learning'?

2. What is the relationship between 'the acquired system' and 'the learned system'?

3. Why did Krashen emphasize on the 'the value of undirected pleasure reading as a source of comprehensible input'?

4. Do you agree to Krashen's opinion on 'affective filter' which is 'an imaginary barrier that prevents learners from acquiring language from the available input'? ?Why and Why not?
