    I keep coming back to this talk. Professor Stephen mentioned that high anxiety filters input and makes it harder to learn a language. It made me imagine that if a positive emotional environment is key for learning languages, it could be just as important for picking up any new skill.

    This is so neat because it's how my dad learned english. I helped him learn the very basics, then we started watching movies with english/spanish language and subtitles in the other language. we didn't just let it play. we also made notes on how we would translate certain lines and why. Helped my dad learn english and helped me iron out my spanish.

    in brief: In this video presentation, the speaker discusses the most important issue in language education: how we acquire language. The speaker argues that we all acquire language the same way, through comprehensible input. This means that we learn a language when we understand messages from others, regardless of individual variations in learning styles. The speaker provides two language lessons in German to illustrate the difference between incomprehensible input and comprehensible input. The first lesson, with no context or visual cues, is incomprehensible and ineffective. The second lesson includes context, visual cues, and simplified language, which makes it more understandable and effective. According to the speaker, we acquire language only when we understand messages, not when we practice talking. This is demonstrated through a story about a Japanese girl named Itomi, who acquired English through a silent period of listening and understanding, eventually starting to speak after five months. The speaker introduces the effective filter hypothesis, which argues that motivation, self-esteem, and anxiety are factors that relate to success in language acquisition. When a student has low motivation, low self-esteem, or high anxiety, it creates a block (or "filter") that prevents comprehensible input from reaching the language acquisition device in the brain. In summary, the speaker emphasizes the importance of comprehensible input in language acquisition and suggests that language education should focus on providing understandable messages and creating a low-anxiety environment for students to learn effectively.

    I disagree with Stephen saying it won't help to speak your target language out loud by yourself. Sure it won't make you conversational but I think it helps with pronunciation and fluidity of whatever word / phrase you're saying.

      Drilling is necessary, grammar is indispensable. No need for revolution because the human brain has not mutated for a very long time - it still learns the same way... . Check out how Russian was taught in the Soviet Union schools, and you will see - grammar and reading were the key features. In that system by the age of 15 all of us were fluent in one of the most difficult languages in the world. I grew up in that system in the early 80-ties and I can tell you - foreign language learning in Soviet Union was done correctly, even though it was very "traditional". BTW my native language was not slavic, so for me Russian was very difficult in the beginning but through reading we achieved native like levels within 6-7 years.

      I'm not sure if you listened to the lecture Stephen Krashen is giving here. It's the COMPREHENSIBLE input theory, not the input theory. If you just go for any input, that's basically the first lesson of his two example lessons. It doesn't do anything. The input has to be comprehensible. Most people don't have a 24/7 resource that provides them with comprehensible input just according to their level so they can improve. So you need to make input comprehensible by yourself, and you can do this by learning the grammar and learning the vocabulary. Once you have learnt enough to understand messages in that language, maybe not in their every detail, but just the overall message, you have made input comprehensible. Take as much of it in as you can, and your brain will naturally fill the gaps.
