Talk:Stephen Krashen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I changed "silly" back to "important". "Silly" is really not a neutral term and involves a judgement call. We could add that Krashen is heavily criticized for his views, or that he is thought of as simplistic, but lets not call him silly.
I also added information on the difference between "learning" and "acquisition". I'm not an expert in this area, but i felt it was important to get this down and hopefully we can clean it up a bit in the future.

[edit] i + 1
I seem to recall learning his theory as "n + 1" rather than "i + 1". Anyone else? Stevage 12:24, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
- Ultimately, the choice of letter is rather arbitrary. I think I've heard it most commonly as "L + 1," i.e. "level plus one," which actually seems to make a bit more sense than "i + 1." However, "i" is the letter used by Krashen in his 1982 book, and presumably elsewhere. -- Visviva 16:17, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
- If it's in his book, that sounds pretty definitive. Also, anyone know if the term "Krashen bashin'" has achieved enough currency to rate a mention? Stevage 07:37, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
- Surprisingly few Google hits for that; I'd have to say no, unless there are some offline reliable sources that use or discuss the term. -- Visviva 07:47, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikifying
This article could use some subject divisions (history, theory, opposition). A bibliography would also help.
[edit] Picture
Any way we could scale down or crop that picture? It's awfully large.
- Better now? -- Visviva 07:42, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Assistant Professor at Queens College
Krashen was an assistant professor at Queens College (CUNY) which is not mentioned here. I took a course he offered in 1973 or 1974.
