1.Krashens Monitor Model: The 5 Hypotheses By: Jennifer Cobos, Rachael McKinley, and Chelsea Bryant

2. Krashen BiographyProfessor Emeritus at the University of Southern California Linguist, educational researcher, and activist Has published more than 350 papers and books Introduced the concept of 5 learning hypotheses 3. The 5 HypothesesThe 5 hypotheses are about the learning of a second language The 5 hypotheses are as follows: Acquisition Learning HypothesisNatural Order Hypothesis Input Hypothesis Monitor Hypothesis Affective Filter Hypothesis 4. The Acquisition-Learning HypothesisTwo Methods to Learning a second language: Learning Acquisition 5. Learning Conscious study of the language According to Krashen, this does not lead to fluent speaking Ex: In China after multiple hours of studying English grammar, students were unable to engage in meaningful conversation 6. AcquisitionPicking up language the way children naturally do Subconscious Ex: Picking up language through meaningful conversations that they observe and eventually engage in 7. What does this mean?The point of Krashens Acquisition Learning hypothesis is to show that though alone neither learning or acquisition are successful, when used together they can produce real results in English proficiency 8. The Monitor Hypothesis Conscious learning is available only as a "Monitor," which can alter the output of the acquired system before or after the utterance is actually spoken or written. It is the acquired system which initiates normal, fluent speech utterances. Internal grammar editor, or Monitor Implies that the ELL thinks about what they say or write, and has the ability to self-correct 9. Example of the Monitor Hypothesis I goed to the store I mean. I went to the store. 10. The Monitor HypothesisKeys to Effective Monitoring Time An ELL must have sufficient time to think about and use rules consciously Focus on grammatical form Even with ample time, one may be so involved in what theyre saying they dont think about how theyre saying it Knowledge of rules Complex 11. The Monitor HypothesisTypes of Monitor Users Under-user Have not learned Or, prefer not to use knowledge Over-user Constantly monitoring No fluency Optimal User Uses Monitor when appropriate Uses learning as a supplement to acquisition 12. Natural Order HypothesisLanguage learners acquire (rather than learn) the rules of a language in a predictable sequence Acquisition of grammatical structures follows a natural order 13. Teacher ApplicationBe aware that certain structures of a language are easier to acquire than others Start by introducing language concepts that are relatively easy for learners to acquire and then use scaffolding to introduce more difficult concepts 14. Input HypothesisSecond language acquisition is the direct result of learners understanding the target language in natural communication situations 15. Input Hypothesis cont.learners progress in their knowledge of the language when they comprehend language input that is slightly more advanced than their current level i is the language input +1 is the next stage of language acquisition 16. Four Parts to the Input Hypothesis1. Relates to acquisition, not learning 2. We acquire by understanding language that contains structure beyond our current level of competence 3. When communication is successful, when the input is understood and there is enough of it, i+1 will be provided automatically 4. Production ability emerges. It is not taught directly. 17. The Affective Filter HypothesisPeople acquire second languages when they obtain comprehensible input and when their affective filters are low enough to allow the input in [to the language acquisition device]. Addresses the relationship between social-emotional variables and second language acquisition The goal is to have a weak affective filter (low anxiety). 18. The Affective Filter Hypothesis Low-anxiety learning environment Motivation to learn language Self-confidence Self-esteemMost Important Affective Variables 19. Lowering the Affective FilterGet to know your students Lots of praise Encourage all expressions of English Incentives Interesting topics 20. Questions1. How do you think a high-stress environment affects an ELL trying to acquire a second language? 2. How do you think the population of other ELL students (high versus low) affects the learning of English in schools? 3. Can you describe three activities that promote second language acquisition? 21. ConclusionKrashens Monitor Model and 5 hypotheses are all a model of teaching for the learning of a second language They are all based off of the natural way a first language is learned 22.
