Krashen's Monitor Model has five main hypotheses about second language acquisition: 1) The Acquisition-Learning Hypothesis proposes there are two independent systems - acquired and learned language. Acquired language is subconscious while learned is conscious. 2) The Monitor Hypothesis states that learned language is used as an editor or monitor of acquired language only in formal situations when focusing on correctness. 3) The Natural Order Hypothesis claims the rules of a second language are acquired in a predictable order, not taught order. 4) The Input Hypothesis argues we acquire language by understanding messages a little beyond our current skills. 5) The Affective Filter Hypothesis refers to affective variables

8. The Monitor
Hypothesis
 Use learned language to self-
correct and self-monitor what
is acquired The acquisition system is
able to produce spontaneous
speech, while learning system
is used to check what is

9. The learner must
know the rule
The learner must
be focused on
correctness
The learner must
have time to use
the monitor
 It involves to
have had
explicit
instruction
 Thinking
about form
without
ignoring
 It requires
the speaker
to slow down
and focus on

10. Difficulties with the
Monitor use
 First, learner need to know about
grammar and remember every rule.
 Secondly, it is very difficult to think
about form and meaning at the
same time.
 Finally, using the Monitor involves
having a slow conversation.

11. The Natural Order
Hypothesis
 We acquire the rules or
grammatical structures of
language in a predictable
order for children and adults.
 The Natural Order of
acquisition presumed to be
the results of the acquired
system.

14. The Input Hypothesis
 Krashen proposes that
humans acquire
language when they are
exposed to sources of
‘comprehensible input’
(oral or written)
 Language acquired when
one understand what they
hear or read It only concerned with
“Acquisition” not “Learning”

15. Comprehensible
Input
“i” is a
current
level of
proficiency
“1” is

level
i+1 is when the learner
learns something new.

17. The Affective Filter
Hypothesis
 This filter involves affective
factors such as attitudes to
language, motivation, self-
confidence and anxiety. The learners emotional state can
act as a filter that can impedes or
blocks input necessary for
language acquisition. Attitudes influence the development
in 2nd language learning

 Learners with Low Affective Filter: High motivation, self
confidence, and low level of anxiety are better
equipped for success in 2nd language acquisition.
