One of the most influential professors in the world when it comes to languages. I totally changed my prospective towards language learning due to Dr Stephen Krashen long time ago 😊 Great video. Thanks for sharing👏🏻
Krashen's stories never fail to be fascinating, it's always nice to see he's still going strong
Thank you so much! Dr Krashen! Pleasure to hear and see you. Good to have you close to us in this way. From Paraguay, South America.
You rock Professor Krashen.
Thanks so much
I agree, but having 6 years of living abroad in an English-speaking country and using the second language (which is English for me) for more than 50% of everything that I did was enough to understand a lot, but I wasn't able to differentiate between when to use present perfect or past perfect ("have" and "had" sound similar, and the structure is similar). Didn't get it until I started studying grammar specifically.
Amazing!
Where do I get graded readers books? How do I know if they're appropriate for my level of English?
He's so cool and nice to listen to
Whenever I tell someone who has learned another language that I'm using Duolingo, they invariably tell me that I just have to get out and talk to people using the language I'm learning but that doesn't seem to work for me. I don't pick up new words well orally, I need to see them written down. Clearly, different strategies work for different people.
I'd never heard of graded readers. I'll be checking those out, thanks :)
Based on what I have learned about Comprehensible Input, I think Duolingo isn't that bad after all. I provides i+1 level of input. Every timejust a little higher level, some new vocab or grammar. I used to think Duolingo is useless for language learning. But now my academic studies changed my mind. We can acquire a language with the help of Duolingo.
He is a genius!!
But how much do people need to comprehend beginers that don't know any words will never get better
This is where body language, gestures, drawings, and sound imitations come into play. We do communicate on multiple levels, not only by spoken language.
@@nastiakarpova whit this why is nobody trying to make animations for languge lerning. Whit animation you can exagerate the body langugage so is easyer to understand. but thanks for replay and help.
I kinda agree with you. Im currently learning french and korean, and even though i use comprensible imput and compelling methods, the both of them required a different approach one from another.
For korean, the better example, i started not knowing a single word, or rather nor a single letter. So even with compressible videos i couldnt reach the level to undestand anything ( even with drawings, gesturing…).
Then the best thing i could thought was to learn some basic words, the pronunciation etc ( through duoling and some free apps to be honest). After that, with some hours dedicated in this matter, i restarted to watch the comprehensible videos ( the same i already watched) and for vig surprise, i could follow the class - not undestanding all the words, but the context along with some words that i knew.
Did sofie understand what she was reading? Did she have a tape to read to her? How can she improve if she can pronounce the words?
But if in the book there's some words that I don't know. I just look up the meaning without take notes and without do flash cards?
only jot down the key words you really can't grasp from context ...if the appear OFTEN...some suggest 5 times...Main thing is not to interrupt the flow of your reading...
It most certainly was Alice Roosevelt! I read that it was embroidered on one of her sofa pillows.
I have been living for 50 years in turkey. How can l foun a person who has native language to learn english bro?
Because of Krashen I am voting Blue through and through!!!!
Stephen Krashen has often been accused of not providing any hard evidence, and this is a prime example - it's all anecdotes. How can you claim your Spanish has improved because someone who most certainly looks up to you congratulates you on your progress? Beyond me.
If you paid attention to what he said and mentally annotated you'd know that his argument was not learning the language through praise but learning it because he was actually interested in the conversation. He gossiped (which he clearly states he fully enjoys) with a cool person who spoke Spanish for about a year. "If you don't have something good to say about someone, come sit next to me... it's really fun" -Krashen. He desired so much to gossip and engage in the latest town tea that he picked up a book to help him learn to socialize a little more on his weekly grocery runs. The evidence was him and you not comprehending that is Beyond me.
