What is slightly above their current level of comprehension? i + 1
According to Krashen's Affective Filter Hypothesis, what emotional factor can block language acquisition when it is high?
What is stress or anxiety?
How does language develop in terms of the sequence of linguistic features?
What is a predictable and universal sequence?
The core concept of Krashen's Monitor Hypothesis in language learning.
What is language learners have a "monitor" that acts as an editor to review and correct their language output.
Language is best acquired when learners are exposed to language input that is
What is slightly above their current level?
"I know" the learner's current level of linguistic knowledge or proficiency.
What is the "i" ?
The hypothesis suggests that a high affective filter, caused by anxiety or stress, blocks
What is language acquisition?
The concept of the "natural order" in language development relates to individual variation among language learners.
What is the exact timing and pace of acquiring may vary?
When should learners primarily use the "monitor" for language correction?
What is when they have time such as in writing or planned speeches?
This term describes language input that learners can understand despite encountering some new or challenging elements.
What is Comprehensible Input?
The explicit primary driver of language acquisition, according to this hypothesis is.
What is grammar instruction?
As proposed in this hypothesis, impacts language acquisition with a relaxed and comfortable learning environment.
What is a low-affective filter?
According to the Natural Order Hypothesis, language is acquired in a _____, predictable order that is largely the same for all learners.
What is
Potential drawbacks of overusing the "monitor"
What is slow and hesitant language production, as learners focus on grammar and correctness rather than fluency and communication?
Language educators can help learners by providing this technique which helps explain new or challenging words in the context of input.
What is scaffolding?
The way in which language is acquired more effectively through exposure to language input.
What is a natural manner?
The central concept of Krashen's Filter Hypothesis is the learners' stress and anxiety can affect language input by
What is blocking it?

What is the use of basic vocabulary and simple sentence structures, often related to everyday actions and objects?
Teaching strategies that educators and language teachers can apply using this principle.
What is to focus on communication and fluency during activities like discussions and role-playing.
Language educators can apply the principles of the Input Hypothesis by providing learners with input that is engaging and _
What is Context-rich?
Exposure to comprehensible and engaging language input and not explicit grammar instruction.
What is the primary driver of language acquisition?
Language teachers create a low-effective filter environment in a classroom by providing this atmosphere.
What is providing a supportive, non-threatening, and motivating?
The challenge of the traditional teaching approach that focuses on teaching grammar rules from the beginning of language learning.
What is language learners naturally follow a sequence, not explicit grammar rules?
Language educators should encourage learners to prioritize _______________ in spontaneous, real-life communication.
What is fluency?
The zone in which this hypothesis emphasizes that learners need language input that is challenging.
What is the Zone of proximal development?
