- Dr. Krashen talking about Language Acquisition Pagoda Academy in Busan.(www.jobpagoda.com) We were very fortunate to have him speak to us there and at 2 of our branches in Seoul! We were the only private academy he visited in Korea so it was quite an honor for us and our EFL teachers absolutely loved it!

Talking is not practicing
The Comprehension Hypothesis has an important corollary: The ability to produce language is the result of language acquisition, the result of obtaining comprehensible input, not the cause. In other words, talking is not practicing and writing is not practicing; we do not learn to speak by speaking and we do not learn to write by writing

I can certainly attest to the effectiveness, plausibility and possibly even serve as confirmation as to the effectiveness of Professor Krashen's approach and hypothesis. English is my second language, and I did not learn any of it in school. If I did take anything away from school it may have been the exceptionally rare, almost negligible grammar or spelling error which I may have made. So rare in fact, that I don't remember when and where in school I actually improved because of the teachers or the curriculum.
Of course I appreciate the effort all my teachers put into educating me in school, but I rarely needed the help. I scored 93% on my 2nd grade English test without remembering a single lesson. I did it because I was fascinated, fascinated by dinosaurs, so fascinated in fact that I read DK books and other encyclopedias on the subject of prehistoric life, and I remember that I only started to seriously read the year before.
I spoke the language of course, but it was mostly pleasure reading and listening that gave me such a command of the English language, not school. I only say this because I'm a massive supporter of Stephen Krashen's approach now that I have come to know of it. Peace.
What revolutionary in the teaching and acquisition of second languages! I recently discovered Dr. Krashen's work and I'm glad I did!
Man, I can totally relate to this with how I play drums. I realize that I play a lot like Dave Grohl because Nirvana was my favorite band when I was learning. I was just listening to my band's cd, and I can hear many fills that I clearly stole from Nirvana that I was unaware of during recording. You are what you eat, I guess.
As an English teacher I found this upload brilliant, he makes so much sense and delivers his ideas in a non-patronising way with wit and clarity. Thanks for uploading!
We were very fortunate to have him speak at our branches here in Busan and Seoul. Great stuff!
Our pleasure. Nice to see so many liked it!
Thank you for posting this video!
I loved it. Got an exam in didactics tomorrow and this gave me alot more than the course literature did..
It is true, what he says about the authors of academic literature, their writings can be really hard to comprehend.
Stephen Krashen is such a genius with a wonderful sense of humour!
I will use this in my class thanks MR.Stephen Krashen
He, in the best possible way, simplifies rather difficult things... Beautiful simplicity:)
Glad you liked it!
Glad you liked it. Cheers :)
Somewhat ironic to have Krashen speaking at an English hagwon - most are the antithesis of what he believes.
thanks for posting

Unfortunately we don't have any links to this research. Let us know if you find something!
We would be too!
Yes, he sure has knack for that. Guess something to do with decades of experience in the field :)
I am confused a little bit with some concepts. As a matter of fact, I don't undesrtand if we learn a second language or we acquire it. I'd be glad if any one could give me the key to solve my doubt and support his'her answer. Cheers!
Mr, do you have any book?
Just a little question. Is it really possible to acquire a language subconciously? I mean, Isn't it in contrast with other theories like Noticing, that says that all the learning must be noticed?Or even with constructivism, which says that we contruct our knowledge actively? What are your thoughts, guys?
To acquire the language is not the same as learning it.Children acquire the language without any given instruction, or correction. They acquire it to the point of using it in real time.
Learning is the process of gaining an ability of doing something, via instruction/error correction; you can say that you ve learnt the language, you have ability to speak, the whole process wont be "acquired" naturally, though, as using that knowledge wont be as fast and easy as with acquired, first language.
I'm wondering if you know of the source for his claim: the research says that something like 95% of fluency for adults is learned through acquisition. I saw the polyglot Benny Lewis speak and he said that he wasn't able to learn languages until he began going out and speaking with natives as opposed to sitting at home and studying language. This ties together with that theme quite nicely and I'm interested in the research behind it.
I totally agree with his dictonomy between acquisition and learning. learning is very conscious thing but acquisition is not. As a student in English language and literature, I sometimes feel that some topics are learned, not acquired.
I speak English as ESL 95% fluently and I think either you should improve the sound of your audio equipment on your videos or you should speak more loudly and clearly. I barely understand what you say. And I know you are so right! What you say just hits the nail on the head. Please tell how to find out what you say about acquisition of a foreign languages?
So show me the roadmap from beginner to expert and where is the content to start consuming for beginners? If this guy is so passionate about it then make it ! If I understand you need TPR/S for beginners and then you go to things like reading. That should be a little more fleshed out and a big picture diagram created. I see a lot of messy stuff printed in papers at his website.
As funny as that joke was...
