Relevant details This is my personal take on Stephen Krashen’s views on
second language acquisition. Although it is intended as a
spoof-summary-cum-criticism of these views, and has attracted some
‘how-dare-you’ e-mails, I have been increasingly intrigued to realise that it
has also been used as a straightforward introductory summary. Perhaps I
should find the latter practice more gratifying than perplexing, as it seems
to indicate that the interpretation is valid. Or should I perhaps rephrase
the above as a warning? |
