_Comprehensible Input
Introduction
Dr. Stephen Krashen
_Comprehensible input is described in the following statement: “When
students are learning a second language, they should be able to
understand the essence of what is being said or presented to them.”
Students learn more through comprehensible input than through the more
common teaching methods of memorization and language immersion programs,
which have students only hearing the second language without any
meaningful or helpful information. It is important for educators to
understand that learning a new language is not as simple as immersing a
student completely in the new language, there must be actual
comprehension before anything of meaning can be retained.
