The document summarizes the Natural Approach developed by Krashen and Terrell in the late 1970s. The Natural Approach consists of five main hypotheses: 1) The Input Hypothesis which states that language is acquired through comprehensible input just beyond a learner's current level. 2) The Acquisition-Learning Hypothesis which distinguishes between acquired and learned systems. 3) The Monitor Hypothesis which describes the role of learning in speaking. 4) The Natural Order Hypothesis which claims humans acquire language rules in a predictable order. 5) The Affective Filter Hypothesis which posits that factors like motivation and self-confidence can impede or facilitate language acquisition.
