theory on the language teaching.
4. • The Acquisition-Learning
Hypothesis
• The Monitor Hypothesis
• The Natural Order Hypothesis
• The Input Hypothesis
• The Affective Filter
Hypothesis
Monitor Model involves five
principal hypotheses about how
a second/third language is
acquired/learned by adults:
8. The Monitor Hypothesis
conscious learning is complemented by self-
monitoring and self-correction of what learner is
producing.
Three conditions must
be met:The learner must
know the rule: It
involves to have had
explicit instruction
about rule.
The learner must be
focused on
correctness: Thinking
about form without
ignoring meaning.
The learner must have time to use the
monitor: It requires the speaker to slow
11. The natural order
hypothesis is the idea
that children
learning their first
language acquire
grammatical
structures in a pre-
determined,
'natural' order, and th
at some are acquired
earlier than others.
The author suggests that we
acquire the rules or grammatical
structures of language in a
predictable order for children
and adults.
