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!
1. There are two ways for adult second language learners acquisition. 'Acquisition' means unconscious attention to language form. 'Learning' means conscious process of study and attention to form and rule.
ReplyDelete2. Krashen asserts that Language teaching should be on creating conditions for acquisition rather than learning. learners use the monitor only when they are being corrected than on what to say and have sufficient time to search and know the rules. Writing is more conductive than speaking to monitor use, because it allow more attention to form.
3. When the learner is stressed, self-conscious and unmotivated the affective filter is up. It will be 'down' when the learner is relaxed and motivated.

As an ESL teacher, we should support and motivate students so that they can actively participate in learning language. I agree with Krashen at some point, but I think that language learning should be more like 'learning' rather than 'Acqusition'. Even though, students acquired language through natural communication, they are likely to forget if there is no internalization.

DeleteI agree with Krashen, but I think in the part of language learning 'learning' and 'acquisition’ both important.

DeleteKrashen’s ideas are useful when we teach students. Making a joyful classroom is a precondition when we teach students. It will help our students feel not distracted in class.
