thank you Stephan

For Search Engine Optimization, it's better to have the full thing in video title, e.g. Guided Self-Selected Reading (GSSR), instead of just GSSR

comprehensible input, compelling input, rich input,

❤️

you saved my worklife🎉

far too humble and modest

What a boss

The last part ... what we need is "Acquired Technology". --- Starting from simple & easy parts.

I have a question professor, please forgive me for my English. So at the beginning we can learn from material made for non native speakers ? It doesn’t have to be material made only for native speakers?

Come on people!!! shut up and keep push the subscribe button and like button!!! Krashen deserve 99999999 9subscriber!!!!!!!!!

We love you sir! You are a great scholar

Thank you so much! I've heard many people speak of you and it was so great to hear directly from you!!

well done - thank you

Hats off to you professor Stephen Kreshan!! I owe you the credit of uplifting my professionnel career as a College Lecturer English...

THANK YOU

gotta say i’m a big fan. optimal input is a very good description of this phenomenon. thanks krashen.

Wow. What a treat. To see two emminent scholars converse. Thank you for posting video.

The gatekeeping of journals and scientific papers should be illegal.

ᖁᔭᓐᓇᒥ thank you for re-sharing. I love your humour!

Thanks to your hypothesis I have acquired remarkable competence in English, French, Portugués and German, the most difficult until now. All of this, through the valuable experiences of Steve Kauffman. Thanks for your insights in the field.

Hi Doctor thanks for the video. Take care. 😊

Thanka for sharng1

Thank you very much!

My professors really don't like this man, but he's brilliant. He is by the nature of his theory anti-reverse-classroom.

"We know that language acquisition, at all ages, runs on the same engine, which is basically comprehension of what you hear, what you read. It results in a predictable order of acquisition, and it's extremely difficult to apply conscious knowledge to language; it's nearly impossible." Prof' Krashen saying game-changing stuff. This is why students simply must explore beyond the bounds of the classroom if they ever hope to expand their vocab' and become fluent.

What's the best way to find optimal input though? I'm intermediate level in Japanese so children's books are too easy (and too boring when you're a beginner anyway). All the "compelling" content seems too high level, so it's hard to find that middle ground. I'm enjoying the Ace Attorney games but I only understand about 50%, wish I could find something more "optimal".

In 1988 I moved from Argentina(spanish) to SC, USA. Not speaking a single word of english, I was put in 7th grade,(I was 12) of a public school as a listener, 4 months went by till the end of the school year. After the summer break, I started classes in 8th grade as a regular student and never failed to pass a single subject. No special teachers, no special treatment...now Im a native speaker with a southern accent...Im 100% sure that the state was applying this system!!! And guess what...now Im an english teacher focusing in sound recognition and linking sounds... Through my experience, I found that our brain is already set in a way, the right one, to acquire input. It's natural and fun!!

The ending was the best

Дякую, дуже цікаве та корисне відео!

I can watch this all day, simple direct no beating around the bush and I believe it is exclusive. Best regards professor.

Given these conditions, optimal input is nonexistent. Especially for low intermediate or below

When you don't have voluninous scientific evidence to support a hypothesis (either way), then it should be taken with a pinch of salt. The theory of *Comprehensible input" has been around for around 40 years and yet it is not the prevalent method used to become fluent in a language. Sure, you can argue that language schools and publishers might miss out in profits if the (so call) "truth" where known that teaching methods are not the best way to become fluent in a language. But of course, this argument doesn't stack up in the modern free market economy. Long playing records were replaced by cassettes, which were replaced by CDs, which were replaced by MP3 storage, which has been surpassed by streaming. Why? Because each new method was better than the last and the free market exploited this for profit. If the Comprehensible Input method really were better than all the other methods, then the free market would have found a way to market and make money from it, but it hasn't. So I ask myself the simple question, "Why is that". The simple answer is that it doesn't work as claimed. It seems to me that people should still actively learn a language, because this method does work, but realise that there is an inherent mechanism present in the brain that will automatically acquire language to a greater or lesser extent, subject to the environment a person finds his or herself in. Perhaps an individual should try to find the ideal conditions under which language acquisition is maximised whilst also finding the ideal conditions under which language is learned and hopefully a nice balance between these two mechanisms can be achieved?

Books are not that expensive. Also, there are tons and tons of free learning materials on the internet.

Professor Krashen, you are absolutely unique! Thank you so much! Lots of love from an Argentinian translator who has a passion for languages!

This is brilliant. I learned about it first from Olly Richards. And it was so surprising to me cause that's how i learned English too. I have never learned English actually by intention. I was just using it for enjoyable activities such as watching movies, UA-cam videos, listening to music, and reading about stuff in wekipedia out of curiosity. And here i am speaking English without actually focusing on grammer rather than this what makes sense.

I focus on the input as a non native English speaker.

¡Grandeee Sr. Stephen! ¡He aprendido mucho de usted! Thank you so much Sr. I can appreciate and see the passion and personal purpose of sharing your knowledge to the world. I am pretty sure your life was definitely not a waste of time haha :p All the best

Thanks for your generous contribution to language learning.

I so wish there's a Japanese transcription of this video.. there's someone I really want to show this to.

I love Dr Krashen's knowledge and fully agree with his findings. The man is an international treasure, and I hunt down pretty much every interview of him or presentation online. That said, he simply can't help mentioning a certain orange-hued politician's name at any random opportunity. Yeah, we get it, doc, you hate him.

wow. It is honor to listen your theory and I think it is absolutely right because it happens to me!

What a wonderfully presented, thoughtful, yet fully human in its sincerity! Thankyou Dr Krashen for your dedication to the field of linguistics.

My great grandpa was a 'Behaviorist' who believed in 'Stimulus-response' theory.

Theory of second language acquisition is very popular in China

I listened to you speak over 25 years ago when I was in teaching training. You inspired me then and you contine to inspire me. Thank you!

Thank you so much Dr. Krashen!

I CAN ATTEST THAT THIS REALL WORKS!!! I JUST LOOKED UP A COMPREHENSIBLE INPUT FOR JAPANESE LANGUAGE, AND I JUST SAW A CHANNEL ON THAT, AND I LISTENED TO ONE OF THE BEGINNER VIDEOS IN THEIR PLAYLIST, AND I UNDERSTOOD ALMOST 100% OF WHAT THE SPEAKER WAS SAYING. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT. Also, you should read a lot of compelling beginner to intermediate stories, articles, etc A LOT, CONTINOUSLY. AND LISTEN A LOT.
