What are the 2 diferent processes of acquisition and learning according to Krashen?
Learning
: knowing about a language formally (school)
Acquisition
: the unconscious mind related activity that occurs when language is used in conversation
Monitoring
Learning acts as a monitor- it detects errors in order to make corrections, avoids emphasis on error correction and grammar at early stages
Input

Input
Zone of Proximal Development

Affective Filter
Optimal input occurs when AF is lowered. AF is a screen of emotion that can block learning or language acquisition if it keeps users too embarrassed
