Learning/Acquisition Hypothesis | KRASHEN; learning= lvls 4-5; conscious process studying rules/vocab; lvls 4-5 Acquisition= lvls 1-3; subconscious; reqr's meaningful interaxn in TL w spkrs concerned w content/message, not form; Stu's can acqur lang at same time as lrn content if CI |
Monitor Hypothesis | KRASHEN; device to monitor spkr's output; internal self-editing; K says can hinder acquisition process; better for when fluency established; not for ELD 1-3 |
Natural Order Hypothesis | KRASHEN: acquisition of grmmr struc's follows natrl order: -present & past progressive, then plural conjugations, etc -possesives often last, as rules can be more complx |
Fossilization | loss of progress in SLA. ex: -mistake spkrs know is wrong but keep making (in spite of correxn) -error from habit made subconsciously -learned wrong & need to change but keep making mistake -error spkrs make when focused but still make on own |

Syntactic Cues | Structure cues; order/struc; Does it sound right? Inflectional cues (-ed, etc); Pay attention to POS, ex: "warm regions" -> warm is adj, so regions prob noun |
Reciprocal Teaching | |
Guided Reading | Xvention to suppt sml grp w decoding/comprhnsion strat's; ex groups: same decoding skill, same rdng lvl, same comprhnsn skill, S's struggl w inferential thinking; typclly 20-30 mins 3x wk |
