Krashen's Monitor Model

Krashen's Monitor Model suggests that language learning involves two components: acquiring subconscious knowledge through natural exposure and developing an internal "monitor" or editor to correct speech. The model highlights that effective learning occurs when learners are immersed in meaningful communication rather than formal drills. It emphasizes the importance of a low-anxiety environment, where learners can fluently produce language and then refine it using their internal monitor. Overall, it balances natural learning experiences with conscious correction, promoting both understanding and accurate use of language.
