“Language acquisition occurs when language is used for what it was designed for, communication.”
Stephen Krashen
Stephen Krashen (born 1941) is professor emeritus at the University of Southern California, who moved from the linguistics department to the faculty of the School of Education in 1994. He is a linguist, educational researcher, and political activist.
The Role of Grammar in Krashen's View
According to Krashen, the study of the structure of the language can have general educational advantages and values that high schools and colleges may want to include in their language programs. It should be clear, however, that examining irregularity, formulating rules and teaching complex facts about the target language is not language teaching, but rather is "language appreciation" or linguistics.
As a mnemonic device, Krashen’s hypotheses can be arranged to form the acronym MANIAC:
1. M = The Monitor Hypothesis
2. A = The Acquisition/Learning Hypothesis
3. N = The Natural Order of Acquisition Hypothesis
4. I = The Input Hypothesis
5. A = The Affective Filter Hypothesis
6. C = The Compelling Input Hypothesis (2011)
