I'm from South Asia, specifically Bangladesh, a country very close to India. Our culture has been heavily influenced by India, specifically the modernism of Mumbai and Bengali traditionalism from Kolkata. As a kid, there was a huge craze for Indian drama which would air daily on the TV, and the womenfolk of our country were crazy about some of them. They would put all their work aside, sit down in front of the TV, and watch the new episode every night (they used to usually air at night) for 30 minutes, where there was ad for 10 minutes in between. Keep in mind that back then we didn't have any subtitles (they have English subtitles now), it was pure Hindi all the time. But it didn't matter. I saw my mom, my female cousins, my grandma - everyone irrespective of age sitting down in front of the TV and watching it every night and being able to perfectly describe what was going on in the show. We had no need for Hindi to be honest, I do admit that our Bengali language and Hindi have a lot of similar words, which definitely helped, but it was still fascinating to see these women understand everything from the modern day Hindi to adaptations of Hindu mythologies, which weren't in the modern Hindi language. My own case was similar. I used to be addicted to various Hindi dubbed cartoons which used to air. To this day, 15 years later, I cannot tell you a single thing about Hindi grammar, I can't even write Hindi, nor can my female relatives. But all of us can understand Hindi when someone is using it colloquially, even after knowing that the Hindi used in daily life is much more rough and faster than the one used in these drama serials. We've been to India 4 times, and despite never "talking" in Hindi beforehand, we could communicate efficiently with the local people when necessity took over. And it's not just about me and my female relatives. Every woman in our country no matter the residence, from my mother who has proper education to a random woman in the countryside who cannot even compare in educational qualifications, all understood Hindi, as proven by my visits to my native village by myself. And it's contagious let me tell you that. From just being near them, not even paying any attention, I, my dad and probably many other men from different parts of Bangladesh could understand Hindi more or less. That said, there are several variables like I mentioned, like how Hindi is actually pretty clear, more familiar to us and easy to understand, but still, it's a fascinating experience.

if talking were required to improve our speaking skills, children would never "take off", they would never get to produce a single sentence. Evidently all children make progress (it is a fact) not because they speak but because they all come up with ears and they start listening from the day they are born (and even before that) and they keep hearing language every day for many hours year after year.

Yes, but more importantly, audio input is usually accompanied by meaning, someone points to a dog and says "hey, look the dog", enough times and in enough contexts that the children knows that the dog part means the animal being pointed at. Meaning is important in language acquisition.

This is great!!! Thank you! I will be a 1st year elementary school teacher soon. As an Adult Third Culture Kid (ATCK), my heart goes out to English Language Learners, whether they were born in the U.S. or not, as well as their parents and other family members. I spent 2 months working as an Assistant English Teacher in Japan. It was an amazing experience, and I wish I could have stayed longer. However, culture shock is real, and it takes time & practice to learn culture, language:spoken & written. I want to be patient with all my students, ELLs, in SPED, GT... like people have been patient and helpful to me! Being genuinely caring in the way you interact with people goes a long way. Best practices based on proven research is another important piece. I"m also learning that kids coming from poverty need more supports to help them succeed with academic language...experiences going to the library, to the zoo, parents who are well educated and have time to spend with kids, not just work 2-3 jobs to pay the bills...

He is brilliant. The way he’s speak even in his mother tongue is so clear and objective. I could listening to him for hours.

We know the communicative approach is not effective for fluency, we can see it in classrooms, in the students. This man is a genius. I hope the world will see this one day.

Dear professor Krashen, when you started to write the 3 important rules to learn and get more easy the LANGUAGE ACQUISITION (minute 12, Second 20) I unfortunately recognise myself in the 3 rules but most of all, in the third one: “… the lower the anxiety, the better language acquisition”. While I was studying, and in my entire lifetime, I have had anxiety, low self-steem and depression. Even though, at the age of 48 I go my Bachelor´s Degree in English Studies, though again, because of those 3 factors are still within me, my pronunciation is very good and my level of English is B2, unfortunately, I still haven´t been able to even start studying in order to get the C1Cambridge Level. I feel very frustrated about it as my personal circumstances are still very difficult. Anyhow, I truly thank you Mr. Krashen for bringing about these hugely important factors when it comes to learn almost anything in life.

I spent hours watching Dr. Krashen's speeches all because it's not only comprehensive but also VERY INTERESTING

Very informative in how we acquire language.. as a side note, its also interesting how self esteem, anxiety, and the assumption the student will succeed comes into play according to Mr. Krashen. As one child who gets good grades is receiving the same classes as another child who is struggling and failing, perhaps its not one is smarter than the other. Other factors may be at play, like if one is treated more favorably over the other, or emotional abuse, which affects the self esteem which affects the comprehensive input.

So true about speaking! I recently said something in Spanish (I am learning it right now), for fun, to a colleague. Her response was so valuable, I immediately learned how to say something in everyday Spanish. Basically, I asked where the staples are and when she didn't understand my Spanish word for staples she said "Las que?". Now I know how to say "the what?" So cool! In other words, her response was more valuable than my attempt to speak.

I thought this video was interesting... I thought it was going to be boring but as I continued watching I found him charming and interesting... I honestly find his German lesson cool... I was surprised how much of a difference it made to watch him draw the picture. M. Guerrero

Just amazing!! If he lectured this way in German, unlike in my boring classes I'd eagerly listen for long periods and maybe, start speaking like Itomi within 6 months....

I have seen you today. Your theory is troubling me a lot. You are great.

That's literally how I learnt English but it was more of "self" input at the start, when playing a game and seeing it written down "Play", "Quit", "Options", I'd select "Play" and the game would start, selecting "Quit" would close the game and finally with "Options" it would bring up a menu with a bunch of stuff to tweak. After this "self input" period I started getting a lot of "normal" input which was hours and hours of YT and talking with random people, and now here I am. Never touched a single app or textbooks, never learnt any grammar (aside from looking up when to use "you're" or "your" for 5 minutes), never memorized any of those complicated grammar PDFs or anything like that.

Muito obrigado pelo excelente vídeo!!! De grande ajuda!

A legendary talk that change all my views in language learning

Hello professor Thank you so much for your help and advice. I really appreciate your job. I wish you peace and happiness under the sky of prosperity. All the best. Take care and have a good time. Your follower from Algeria not Nigeria.

I want to tell a story. My mother tongue is Bahasa Indonesia. Both of my parents' mother tongue is Batak, a tribe language. I was raised speaking Bahasa Indonesia, but I understand Batak language and can speak decently. Surprise: MY PARENTS NEVER TAUGHT ME!!! I learned it by picking up words & phrases every time my parents talked to each other in Batak language. (they spoke Bahasa to me but mostly spoke in Batak to each other). Not joking, they never taught me any words. NEVER. But you can ask me any word in Batak and I probably understand it. The power of our brain is really unbelievable.

Why couldn't this be extended (similarly) to other sciences like Mathematics or other sciences deemed as "languages"? It is true that many things can be interpreted as a language but people seem to refrain methodological intuitiveness. It always bothers me why educational institutions don't seem to care about that. A reply is greatly appreciated.

That's really true. I myself am really good at mathematics, but unlike my peers who also get good grades I don't do homework or practise. What I do instead is watch videos with proofs of theorems. I think the problem is that schools in general are very conservative regarding how to teach. Just look at schools and technology. We have so much technology and still after 200 years it's still a class of 30 students listening to one guy speak. When the goddamn radio came out people came up with ideas on how to have a system for them to tune it to class from home. That being said I think comprehensible input doesn't perfectly apply to let's say mathematics. Krashner defines two types of learning:acquisition and conscious learning. Acquisition is what language learning is about, a skill that does not require awareness. But conscious learning is what linguistics is about, having concious understanding on why things are as they are such as grammar rules. And although fluency in a science may fall under unconscious skills, the majority is about understanding structures and concept so that you just not exclusively are able to recite it or recognise, but to also be able to reason upon it, discover new connections, make new theories.

@@brianblades6177 Sure. I'm still working this stuff out and trying things, of course, but here goes. I'll start with two disclaimers: 1. Krashen talks about comprehensible input, which implies that the input must have meaning, i.e. something that can be understood. Music doesn't have any meaning (semantic value), so the term has to be used a little differently here. 2. I am doing a (roughly) eighteenth century italian style of music. I don't see why it couldn't work for jazz, but good to know. With that in mind, you have probably noticed that music, like language, is roughly 90% the same. There are many dozens of stock phrases that we use every day to indicate certain things. Same goes for music. Certain phrases sound like the start of something, others sound like the middle, others sound like the end. Others seem kind of static. I'm sure there's other examples too. These are usually referred to as schemata. An analogue from Jazz would be the 2-5-1 progression. Once you learn that, you hear it everywhere, right? So this becomes a mental model through which you *comprehend the input.* The idea is that by seeing enough of these schemata in enough different places *in enough different contexts* you will just kind of "know what works," because you're used to what they sound like. As for improvising, it's like starting to speak a language. There's not much point until you can understand, because again, you will just know what works. Even if you can't explain it. So that's my rough outline so far. Even now I realise how rough it really is. Either way, I hope it didn't put you to sleep!

This is absolutely the best video ive ever watched on how to teach any language 😍

The legendary video!

Learning a hypothesis from the person who propounded it is pure bliss.

In my opinion Dr. Stephen Krashen does genuinely embody everything I utterly admire in a professor, activist, linguist and--on top of that--man!

I am impressed by his passion and conviction, and he has convinced me that for comprehension, we must listen. I am not convinced that speaking is irrelevant if we wish to learn to speak.

And how are your results now?

"when the conversation gets so interesting, you temporarily forget that you're using another language". Cat demit, that does absolutely everything makes sense. I'm a native Spanish speaker, and when i watch or listen music in portuguese i doesn't feel it's another language, and the same with English, when i listen Rap or watch baseball or chess i don't give anything ande never think it's another language. I've listened about Input Comprehensible before, but now watching Mr Krasehn explainning it, it's made all my doubts about it dissapear. Thank you very much.

This is probably the only lecture I have actually enjoyed listening to.

9:26 - "I kick your ass" that kid is awesome, just going around saying the only phrase he knew.

In my english class we had to read a bit from the chapter out loud and then translate it. We would go through each student like this in order. Soooo instead of listening while others were reading I calculated the part I would have to translate and make sure I got it. Needless to say that I didn't learn much that way. I only started to learn when I got my ipad and therefore a steady access to the internet. I started with memes. Within a year I went from not having any clue on what's going on to top grades.

I just love this man so much

I learned English as an adult (I'm 32 now but I learned it in my nmid 20s) and it's amazing how I cannot avoid understanding what he says. And yet learning a third language seems impossible but it'd be the same way.

Yas dr krashen discourse has not change. If you see one of his last interviews the same points are made. He is the best

Really, really wonderful discussion

what an eye opener 👏👏

He speaks very well. It's so easy to understand! BTW hi prospective translators doing your homework!

Don’t forget you’ll that for the comprehensible input to be effective, it must accompany with motivation, self-estimate, and 0 level of anxiety.

Fabulous talk.

Legendary presentation.
