If you feel like Googling it, the first paper mentioned is: Warwick B. Elley and Francis Mangubhai "The Impact of Reading on Second Language Learning" Reading Research Quarterly, Vol. 19, No. 1 (Autumn, 1983), pp. 53-67 (15 pages).

free voluntary reading; three beautiful words everyone enjoys one way or another

10:55 "In order for comprehensible input to work, the input has to be interesting. People have to pay attention to it." This is such a good summary of what it is. 20:32 where FVR research starts 23:14 my favorite research is presented (the research that inspired me to read and eventually reading over 120 Japanese kids books).

I can't agree more

yes you are right reading is the solution and the way for acquiring a second language. I have done it as you said Dr Krashin I have read more than 2000 hours it's really helped me acquire the English language in one year and half from 4.5 to 6 in IELTS . I'll keep reading until getting 7 actually i enjoy what i read.I don't study the language I just read books that I interest in . it's easy isn't it

msta100 i learn english with using that method and this is true i think you never been try that metod don’t judge

The audience seems predominantly female, but I could just be guessing that from one shot of the audience I just saw. If that is the case, I wonder why. I wonder if men are just not interested or think they aren't interested in this kind of stuff. Also, I LOVE Stephen Krashen!

Of course men are interested as well XD. My guess is that they are teachers and there are more percentage of female teachers compared to males.

Find something to read about a subject you like or have an interest in. It can be anything, interviews with a musician or artist in your target languages whom you're interested in, for example

@@Denis-fg8hi Partly. Reading will increase one's vocabulary and improve syntax. However, speaking is more than that, such as pitch, tone, pace for example.

​@@Denis-fg8hi steve Kaufman (another believer of the theory) has learned over 10 languages from just comprehensible input, he does not start speak but gets a ton of input, overtime you should be able to speak the language as a result of having tons of input (and by a ton of input I'm sure its more than 1000 or even more) feel free to correct me if I got something wrong but this is what I understand.
