Module 2 Discussion: Theories of Language Learning

I think Krashen's Theory makes the most sense to me. I agree with what they called the Natural Approach for learning a second language.  I agree that things such as drill and practice are not as important as natural communication.  I also agree that grammar should not be the center of instruction; acquisition of correct usage will evolve gradually and naturally.  In my Language Arts classroom, I like to incorporate grammar into writing lessons, focusing on a single skill at a time.  The more they read, the more they see and understand the grammar we use daily.  I also believe strongly in keeping a safe environment for learning without students feeling any threat and where they can safely take risks in in the classroom.
