 Learning vs. Acquisition: What Matters More? 1. Learning (Conscious Knowledge):Rules, grammar, and vocabulary studied deliberately.Example: Memorizing verb conjugations from a textbook.2. Acquisition (Subconscious Knowledge):Internalized language you use without thinking (like your native tongue).Example: Speaking fluently in conversations.Science says: Focus on acquisition—it's how we naturally master languages.How Acquisition WorksComes from understanding messages in context.Requires comprehensible input (language slightly above your level but mostly understandable).Why Apps Often Fail?Most apps teach through:Repetition without real-world application.Translation-based drills (inefficient).Better alternatives:Online teachers who speak only the target language (no translation).Tools like Pimsleur that prompt direct responses in the language.The Baby Method: Learn Like a Native SpeakerChildren acquire language by:Listening to slow, clear speech paired with visual context (e.g., pointing to an apple while saying "apple").Focusing on meaning—not grammar rules.Absorbing stories and real-world interactions.Key Insight:Grammar is acquired subconsciously through exposure, not memorization.Example: You learned English grammar by reading books, not studying textbooks.Grammar: Stop "Learning" ItProblem: Explicit grammar study doesn't lead to fluency.Students forget rules when speaking.Mistakes persist because the brain prioritizes meaning over correctness.Solution:Get comprehensible input (95% understandable content).Grammar sticks automatically when you focus on messages, not rules.Vocabulary: Ditch FlashcardsWords are acquired:Incidentally: Through reading/listening to engaging content.Incrementally: By inferring meaning from context.Example:Read a sentence with 1–2 unknown words.Guess the meaning from context or ask for clarification.Result: Vocabulary enters your subconscious effortlessly.Actionable Steps to FluencyPrioritize input over output: Listen/read before speaking.Choose compelling content (interesting podcasts, books, shows).Seek "i+1" input (slightly challenging but mostly comprehensible).Avoid translation—think directly in the target language.Embrace mistakes—they're part of acquisition.Key TakeawaysAcquisition > Learning: Fluency comes from understanding, not memorization.Babies are the model: Focus on meaning, not rules.Input matters most: Engage with content you mostly understand.Patience pays off: Grammar and vocabulary emerge naturally.Final Tip: Spend 80% of your time on comprehensible input (reading/listening) and 20% on speaking/writing.Why This WorksBacked by Stephen Krashen's Input Hypothesis (language acquisition theory).Mimics how humans naturally learn first languages.Proven by polyglots and immersion-based programs.My Video: How to REALLY Learn Languages https://youtu.be/R_w4YfMkCPgMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast4/How-to-REALLY-Learn-Languages.mp3

In this replay from 2019, John talks with Ted Kroeten (@Joyofthepeople), founder of Joy of the People, a free play soccer program in Minnesota. Kroeten leads the way in rethinking and delivering player development always championing kids and possibilities based on his experienced, dedicated, and innovative soccer career. Joy of the People's mission statement provides a clear idea of what they're attempting to provide:   To support the idea of play as an important part of a child's development, to build small soccer spaces for kids to play, to serve disadvantaged youth, and to build community spirit.   Here are some highlights from the Podcast: What happened when free play was introduced into practice? How does the now defunct idea of “10,000 hours” play into free play and increasing performance? An amazing story of a soccer club famed for youth player development, with numerous expensive player transfers, yet they sign their players after the age of 16  The younger teams get beat in competition, but how does it work out when they get older? There is a time for structure, when is that time? What is going on with the athlete that did not grow up in the academy setting but blows away those who grew up in the deliberate practice environment? How can you add free play into your performance development practice plan? What are “kid micro-clubs”?     Connect with Ted Kroeten Website:  www.joyofthepeople.org Email: Ted@joyofthepeople.org Twitter: @JOYofthePEOPLE LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ted-kroeten-3114a27/   Resources Mentioned  Article on Dynamo Zagreb Academy Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World, by David Epstein [book] The debate between Epstein and Gladwell [video] Explorations in Language Acquisition and Use, by Stephen Krashen [book] How to Become a Transformational Coach with Jean Cote, World-Renowned Expert in Youth Sports and Coach Development [podcast]   OUR NEW BOOK IS AVAILABLE FOR PREORDER!

In dieser Episode geht es um das Thema Fremdsprachenerwerb. Dabei gehe ich genauer auf einige Hypothesen (insbesondere die Input-Hypothese) des Linguisten Prof. Stephen Krashen ein. Außerdem wird erläutert, was ein Fahrgeschäft ist und die Redewendung "jemandem die Würmer aus der Nase ziehen" bedeutet.

I had a great audio question sent in today about learning with comprehensible input. So in this episode, I cover some of the ideas behind the comprehensible input method, and then explore the input hypothesis from Stephen Krashen and how these ideas might benefit your language learning methods.As always, keep in mind we are all different and learn in different ways, but I think a lot of these points will be relevant to most of you. Perhaps you can take something away today that you can implement (add) into your own study routine. Show notes page - https://levelupenglish.school/podcast235Sign Up for Free Lessons - https://www.levelupenglish.school/#freelessonsJoin Level Up English - https://courses.levelupenglish.schoolBy becoming a member, you can access all podcast transcripts, listen to the private podcast and join live lessons and courses on the website.We're Experts NowHi there Future Expert!

In today's episode I'm talking about overstimulation and how it affects my language learning. As language learners, I think we often get the message that speaking and listening are the most important skills to work on. I've struggled with getting in a significant amount of speaking and listening practice in both of my languages, which comes with a lot of guilt. Lately, though, I'm coming to realize that my struggle is more than the usual fear of making mistakes, not being confident, and feeling uncomfortable when I don't understand something or can't find the words I'm looking for. Although all of those things have definitely been true for me, there's a lot more to unpack here. Even though I have conversation lessons, speak with friends in my languages, and use one of them almost daily in my community, I feel a lot of guilt when I don't speak to myself in my languages when I'm in the car alone or while getting myself ready in the morning. Even though I listen to Italian music daily and hear German all around me, I feel a lot of guilt when I don't listen to a podcast on my languages on my commute home or while I'm cleaning up after dinner. But ya know what, sometimes I just can't do it. For my own sanity, I can't listen to anything in any language. For my own sanity I can't listen to anyone talk, even if it's myself, and even if it's a language I absolutely love. Instead, I just need to process my thoughts, reserve my energy for my kids, or just...be. Some days or weeks, I find joy and comfort in filling the little moments with language time, but other times, I don't. And then I feel guilty. My negative thoughts tell me that I just don't have it in me, I'm not the kind of person who does, and I'm never going to reach the level I want because I'm slacking too much. But instead of giving in to the guilt and the negative thoughts, I'm trying to question them and allow myself to see and believe the bigger picture of me. More often than not, I'm just feeling overstimulated, overwhelmed, and/or completely drained of energy, and I need to seek out silence instead. And that's okay. There's no reason for any of us to feel guilty for taking care of what we need for our mental health, so I really needed to explore that today, and I hope it reaches those who need to hear this message, as well.

We're finally back after a several month hiatus. On today's episode I speak to Pamela Rose an educator and Mandarin teacher with a fascinating background. Pamela grew up in New York, to a Chinese mother and an American father. She didn't learn any Chinese in early childhood but as a teenager became fascinated by the language, as well as her cultural heritage. From there she embarked on a journey which would culminate in her not only becoming fluent in Chinese but also qualifying as a Mandarin teacher. Pamela's teaching style is largely inspired by Stephen Krashen's comprehensible input - which we've discussed a lot on this podcast before - as well as a method called  TPRS, which stands for Teaching Proficiency through Reading and Storytelling. In this podcast Pamela shares her story with us and explains how her experiences in the classroom, both as an instructor and  learner, have shaped her teaching approach and methods.  

In this episode, Jared Turner and John Pasden discuss the affective filter hypothesis and its relevance to language learning.

#89Have you heard about Stephen Krashen's Comprehensible Input Hypothesis?  If you've heard about CI, or use it in your classroom, then you know exactly what it is. Today, I want to take this a step further and look at making that input compelling or of particular interest to students.  Not only that, but what about making the output, or how students use the language, equally compelling or of specific interest to them? We're essentially talking about ways to motivate students and we can always use some suggestions for that.Topics in this Episode:Krashen's Comprehensible Input Hypothesis: Language acquisition occurs when learners are exposed to messages that are slightly beyond their current level of language competence, but that can still be understood with the help of contextual clues.Stephen Krashen's Compelling Input Hypothesis: Learners are more likely to acquire language when they are exposed to messages that are interesting, engaging, and personally relevant to them.Five suggestions for providing compelling inputWhat about making the way students use the language compelling and of personal interest to them as well?Five suggestions for providing opportunities for compelling outputBlog post about compelling input and output______________________________Work with Joshua either in person or remotely.______________________________Sign up for Talking Points for tips, tools and resources for language teaching.______________________________Let's connect!wlclassrom.comTwitter:  @wlclassroomInstagram:  @wlclassroomFacebook:  /wlclassroomWLClassroom Facebook Group______________________________Teachers want to hear from you and what you are proud of in your classroom.Join me on the podcast.  We record conversations remotely, so you can be anywhere.

His Input Hypothesis – a group of five hypotheses developed in the 1970s and 80s, argues that comprehensible input is the key component required for successful second language acquisition. Language education in schools and universities has traditionally been based on the belief that practicing speaking, vocabulary memorisation, repetition drills and grammar rules are the keys to learning a second language. According to Krashen, however, studying information about languages in the form of grammar rules and practicing speaking through repetition drills are of marginal importance. Instead we acquire languages when we understand messages through reading and listening to our target language. If we follow his principles, our task as language learners is simple: seek out reading and listening material we find compelling and comprehensible, then consume enough of it until we've internalised the language. If we get enough comprehensible input appropriate to our level, our comprehension skills will consistently improve and our ability to speak the language will then gradually emerge. The online language learning community is full of influencers and learners – myself included – who have been inspired by Krashen. The likes of Steve Kaufmann and Matt Vs Japan (who I interviewed for this podcast) are examples of what can be achieved when Krashen's principles are applied successfully. But Krashen is not without his critics and there are question marks over how applicable his ideas are to learning Mandarin. Can Mandarin pronunciation and tones be acquired through comprehensible input alone or is in necessary to learn rules, use rote memorisation and repetition drills to become proficient? And what about grammar? Can we acquire Mandarin to a high level without deliberately studying grammar rules? In this episode I want to take a critical look at the input hypothesis. To do so I've invited two Mandarin learning experts, both of whom have appeared on this podcast before. Professor Karen Chung is a linguist with decades of experience working at National Taiwan University. Daniel Nalesnik is the founder of the leading flashcard website hackchinese.com Together we explore the strengths and limitations of the input hypothesis in the context of learning Mandarin.

How do you see reading as part of your students' language acquisition? Stephen Krashen certainly knows more than I do about this, so who better to turn to than the world-renowned linguist, educational researcher and activist? In this episode, I delve into his ideas on the power of self-selected reading. I'm not saying he's right or wrong: I'm just throwing it out there in a bite-sized, digestible chunk of podcasty goodness so you can decide for yourself. I'd love to know what you think!

As a follow-up to the interview with Dr. Stephen Krashen, in this episode we look at a very common question among language teachers: Can we use a Comprehensible Input approach or with 'Acquisition Driven Instruction (ADI)' when it comes to intermediate or more advanced learners? This episode takes a slightly different angle as I demonstrate what CI would look like in my classroom for both beginners and intermediate or advanced students. I hope you find it useful!

Matt is a well known face in the language learning community who has risen to prominence thanks to his insightful YouTube videos which explain how he managed to reach a near native level in Japanese in the space of a few years, all the while while living in the US. Like me, he is a big fan of the linguist Stephen Krashen and is on a mission to popularise language learning methods which prioritise the importance of getting lots of reading and listening input. More recently he has also taken a keen interest in the question of how we should go about acquiring native-like accents when studying a new language as an adult. We discussed all this and much more in a very wide ranging interview, one of the most fascinating interviews I've ever done.

#32Where does the whole concept and idea behind Comprehensible Input (CI) come from?  In this episode I walk you through Stephen Krashen's Input Hypothesis that is part of his theory of second language acquisition that he calls the Monitor Model.  Krashen's Input Hypothesis is the origin of what what we are doing with Comprehensible Input today.What Is Comprehensible Input?Comprehensible input means that students should be able to understand the essence of what is being said or presented to them.This does not mean, however, that teachers must use only words students understand. In fact, instruction can be incomprehensible even when students know all of the words. Students learn a new language best when they receive input that is just a bit more difficult than they can easily understand. In other words, students may understand most, but not all, words the teacher is using.

This lesson is called "The Power of Reading" and it comes from an article by Dr. Stephen Krashen. He's one of my favorite people in the world. Dr. Stephen Krashen is probably the number one expert on language learning and language teaching in the world. He is just an incredible professor, an incredible researcher, an incredible intellectual. He has done an incredible amount of research on the topic of learning languages. And today we're going to talk about just one part of his research. Really, Effortless English is based a lot on Dr. Stephen Krashen's research, all of the methods we use. But we're going to talk about just one particular method, one particular idea, very strong idea that comes from Dr. Stephen Krashen and his research and that is the power of reading. Specifically it's the power of pleasure reading. It's the power of easy reading. We'll talk about that more in a minute. But first let me read a little bit from this article. Now this article, as you might guess, is about the power of reading. And Dr. Krashen did a lot of research about reading. Specifically about how do people, native speakers, and people learning foreign languages, how do they learn vocabulary? How do they get good grammar? How do they get excellent writing skills? One of the most important methods is reading. Reading for pleasure. Now when we talk about reading there are kind of two different ways to learn reading, even for small children, learning a native language. Now one method, the old method, is that you learn reading skills. So you have to study and analyze vocabulary, for example. Spelling in English is very difficult and tough so we have to study that a lot in school. Well, we don't have to but often with old methods and old teachers we do. We study, study, study spelling. We study, study, study vocabulary. And we learn all these skills. We use all these textbooks to learn reading. And, of course, people learning new language, a foreign language, well guess what. You do the same things, right? You learn textbooks. You're reading all these textbooks and you're trying to learn all these "reading skills."

Automatic English For The People Emotional Mastery Main Text Okay, welcome to the main audio for "Emotional Mastery." So let's talk about emotional mastery in more detail now. How can you manage your emotions, how can you control, I don't like the word control, but let's just say manage your emotions so that you feel better and stronger while you're learning English. So it's easy to say that "Oh, feel good when you're learning English," but unfortunately a lot of people feel bad when they're learning English. A lot of people feel bored. Or maybe just in your life in general, you're tired, you're working hard, and it's difficult to learn English also and still feel energetic and happy. So we have to learn some techniques, some methods to manage our emotions, to make sure our emotions are feeling strong while we're learning. And remember, again, that emotion and psychology are 80% of success. And a lot of people talk about this in the academic world. Dr. Stephen Krashen, again he's the top expert on language acquisition, language learning and language education, and he talks about this idea of non-linguistic factors. Which basically means psychological and emotional factors, that they're more important than the method you're using. Tony Robbins, the famous peak performance coach, talks about this as well. He says directly success comes from emotion, 80% of success is emotion. The other 20% is the method, it's how you do it. So we've got to master our emotions to master English. How are you going to do to that? Let's talk about that now. There are two keys to emotional mastery. One is your physiology, again it's your body, how you use and manage your body. And second is your focus, your mental focus. Now a lot of this comes from again Tony Robbins and Joe Vitale and some other peak performance coaches so l'm using their information and I'm applying it, I'm focusing it on this process of learning English and how can you take those ideas and use them to increase your English learning power, so you learn faster, so that you speak better. So again we have two ways to manage our emotions. One is physiology, through the body. And the other is through focus, mental focus. What you think about again and again and again. In this lesson we're going to talk about physiology, managing physiology. So this is an easy way to change your emotional state. So let's imagine that you are tired. You've gone to work, you've worked a very long day. You're tired. And you're thinking "I don't want to study English." How can you change that feeling? Well you can try to talk to yourself "Oh, should study, should study, should feel better," but usually that doesn't work, right? Usually you still feel tired. What you have to do is start with your body. Change your body. What does your body look like when you're tired?

The Effortless English Club Automatic English For The People Emotional Mastery 2 Main Text Hello and welcome to the next lesson "Emotional Mastery 2." So in Emotional Mastery 1 we learned about changing our physiology, changing our bodies to change our emotions. Remember in that less I said there are two ways to change your emotions. Number one is physiology, we talked about that. There is something else you can change so you can be in a peak emotional state as you learn English and that is your focus, your mental focus. What you think about consistently, that will change your emotion also. So what do I mean by mental focus? How do you change your mental focus? What should you focus on? What should you not focus on? First, let's talk about the negative. What should you not focus on? Try to remember when you were in school in your English classes. What did you focus on when you were in school? What did you think about, worry about, consistently, frequently? Well probably tests, right? That was one I always thought about. You probably were focused on tests a lot. “I gotta pass this test, I gotta pass this test." Tests, and then grades. "Will I get an A? Will I get a B? Will I get a C? Will I fail this course?" So you were thinking about judgment, other people judging you, the teacher judging you, getting a grade, getting a score. How did you feel about that? When you think about tests, tests, tests a lot and you think a lot about a score, a grade, A, B, C. Or maybe now you're thinking about the TOEFL exam and you're worried "What number will I get on the TOEFL exam?" How does that affect your emotions? Do you feel more relaxed or more stressful? Well, most people feel more stressful, of course. The more you think about judgment, the more you think about a test score, the more nervous you become, the more worried you become. And that's not good. You actually learn more slowly when you're worried. You learn more slowly when you're nervous, when you have anxiety. Again, l'll talk about Dr. Stephen Krashen, our favorite researcher. Anxiety is a major part of his research. It is the single number one most negative factor in language acquisition, in language learning. Anxiety means worry or stress and there are many, many studies about this. They study different language learners, study different English learners. And they put them in a situation where they are more stressed or more worried. And they have others that are in a more relaxed situation. And the relaxed students always learn better and faster. So let's say after six months the relaxed students will have better grammar, better pronunciation, better listening and understanding, better writing skill, better everything. The anxious students, the worried, nervous students, the stressed students, of course, have worse pronunciation, worse speaking ability, less vocabulary, worse writing, less

Traditionally, highly structured approaches were favoured in classroom environments. But it's fair to say today's online language learning community has waged war on this idea. Language should be all about fun, enjoying yourself. The influential linguist Stephen Krashen argues that the most effective way to acquire a language is to expose yourself to content which you can comprehend and immerse yourself in activities which you enjoy. The more time you spend doing this, the more you will gradually progress closer and closer to fluency. I myself have been heavily influenced by these ideas and I think I've benefited from them immensely. It was largely through immersing myself in content I enjoyed that, despite not living in China, I was able to self study to a level where I could comfortably engage in meaningful conversations with native Chinese speakers. But, I have also learned from experience that relying too heavily on immersion alone when studying Chinese has its limits. This is particularly the case when it comes to tones and characters, two aspects of Chinese which many learners find hard to master. To discuss these issues with me I have invited a guest who is a friend of the podcast, Lionel Rowe. Lionel speaks fluent Chinese which he acquired while living in Beijing for a period of seven years. His learning methods were much more structured than mine, particularly at the beginning, so I thought it would be interesting to discuss our different language learning experiences with him on the podcast.

"We acquire a language when we understand messages"- Stephen Krashen.The way we learned our first language gives us a huge insight into the right way of teaching a second language. The way we speak to babies and the content that we use makes language comprehensible. We don't talk about abstract concepts or about concepts the baby is not yet familiar with. The majority of our conversations with babies are about NOW! What is happening right now, what is the baby touching, what is the baby eating, how does the baby's diaper smell right now. We do anything in our power to make what we are saying comprehensible.  Although the baby does not know all the words you are saying, he or she understands the message and slowly begins to make connections to the words. Learning a second language is no different. The following three strategies will help you provide comprehensible input to your child:1 talk about real meaningful things. This is where your relationship with your child will really empower you in introducing a second language. Because you have a strong relationship with your child, you know their likes and dislikes, you know their favorite color their favorite animal and favorite foods, you know when they're happy and sad, and you know what lights them up. 2 narrate what the children are doing and what you are doingIf your child is choosing an activity, it's because it's real and meaningful to him or her. Take advantage of this and talk about what he is doing. If you have a limited proficiency in the second-language, don't worry! Use what you know and what you're comfortable with. For example, if your child is playing with cars instead of saying “wow! It looks like your car is going really fast. Where is it going?” You could say “wow! fast car”. You are still providing real and meaningful comprehensible input. 3 use any means possible to make yourself understood(except translating ) this last strategy is probably my favorite mainly because it allows you to be silly and supplement your communication in a creative way. This supplementation may include gestures, drawings, change invoice intonation and volume , and even name dropping of famous cartoon characters . Example: at bilingual family every time we talk about something B I G, we use deep voices and usually open up our arms in a big circle . When we talk about something small we use a high-pitched voice, squint our eyes and put our thumb and finger almost touching.Low StressIf you ever took a language class in high school or college I'm sure you can remember the dreaded presentation time. Or the class where the teacher randomly calls on students and expects them to reply with correct grammar and pronunciation. From my personal experience I remember completely ignoring what the professor was saying because I was too busy practicing possible answers in my head and worrying about when I was going to be called upon. Stress actually inhibits language learning. Stephen Krashen calls it the affective filter. If your affective filter is low, meaning if there is low stress, you are more capable of acquiring the language, the input is so interesting and real to you that you almost forget it's in a foreign language . If however your affective filter is high, meaning the interaction is stressful, your brain will be focused on managing the stress and it will not allow you to acquire the language. I have seen this high stress interaction happening a lot, even outside of the classroom.  This concept takes us back to the importance of relationships. If you have a strong relationship with your child, they will want to communicate with you and impress you, that is when production will happen naturally . 

This episode looks in detail at Stephen Krashen's Comprehensible Input (CI) hypothesis; where it comes from, the research behind it and why teaching with is so motivating for both students and teacher. This episode also aims to debunk and respond to some of the criticisms that have been leveled at Krashen's CI model, highlighting that his most fierce critics were writing in the 1980's just a few years after he published his ground-breaking "Principles and practice in second language acquisition" in 1982 and well before his CI theory had any time to be properly researched. Now, nearly 40 years later, vast amounts of robust research have empirically tested Krashen's CI theory and found it be accurate, understandable and most importantly, easy for teacher's to put into practice. Finally, the episode discusses what CI teaching actually looks like in the languages classroom and why CI activities are so motivating for students as well as their teacher.
