Thank you for your work and compassion. My ELL/at-risk classroom practices support your research. My classroom is set up like a combination kitchen/living room. I provide popcorn, bread, peanut butter, boiled eggs, and whatever is on sale. We do homework, laugh, and find joy in language. Despite criticism at the lack of a traditional environment, we have results. The children are thriving. Please, continue your work!
why the hell do I have to study Chomsky's Generative Grammar whose idea I do not totally share in my linguistics degree and there is no mention of Krashen?
At 14:02. Krashen: "You have asked the biggest and most important question in language pedagogy. How do you make input comprehensible and highly interesting at the same time? That's the job of language teaching."
I am trying very hard to find comprensible input material, I just can’t talk I can read listen and understand but for me is ver hard to express my thoughts in English.
@@Sandariano well let me tell you it’s pretty good with a lot of effort , not easy at all but I am trying party hard Avery day , I have a lot of customers who speak English and I am making business wit people in Asia and let me tell you they understand Everything I said and that’s good for my business, wasn’t easy because my mother tongue is Spanish.
@@javieruriel That's good to hear. Now that you understand English better, you have the privilege to be able to attack the real world compelling content out there. Pick a series and start following it. If you're not obsessed with it, then drop it and pick something else to watch. If you understand 80% of the story and have fun, day by day, episode by episode, you will feel and be more eloquent in English.
At the beginning of this talk Dr. Krashen mentions poverty as a big hinderance to reading ability and opportunity. Is he talking about poverty in America?--because if he is, most of those students would not be involved in TESOL! I teach in a state system in an extremely affluent European country; virtually none of my students live in poverty yet getting them to read a book is a great challenge. I thought he is supposed to be dealing with TESOL. In which countries was he research done?
rrickarr well i teach in a region where this interview was done and poverty is key to understanding the gap in SLA among students in my point of view so maybe here? and i guess he is commenting on US to make a point about not only ESL but also literacy in general
This guy keeps repeating he's done research that proves this point and that point but never gives any examples. Don't mean to be mean, but he has one theory that's stuck in a rut and has never evolved. Sees things in black and white when they are so obviously far more complex. How can you ignore the importance of repetition and practice as a means of becoming more fluent? Grammar helps you express yourself more accurately, which students need to do, as the interviewer tries to point out.
She was spot on “ the idea of reading books in poor families my need to be encouraged “ Krashen derailed her, and arrogantly claimed the typical liberal dogma. “ There is no message that will help poor people, just give them money and they’ll be scientists and scholars “ This is false, and poor south Asian and Indian immigrants who come and thrive in America are a perfect example of why. The difference in their outcomes is that they have certain values that other domestic American poor people don’t necessarily have. Help poor people, but encourage them to value education. For some reason that’s taboo. And I actually like Krashen. But he is a little off on that aspect.
Listening to Mr. Krashen is always such a big delight. Thank you Sir!
Yeah, she was wrong. You are and have been the most influential researchers in SLA Mr. Krashen. Love you!

the Korean lady is an awesome interviewer.
Gabriel Bour she is good but interrupts him when he is ready to express his thoughts.
I disagree, she asked good questions, her English is also pretty good. But she seemed like an impatient listener.

This man is a genius..
He's right. That is what we do. Make it interesting.
