Krashen's Monitor Model believed that people acquire second- language structures in a predictable order. However, this was only the case if they obtained comprehensible input, "and if their anxiety is low enough to allow input" (Diaz- Rico & Weed, 2010). This theory includes five hypothesis:
- The Acquisition- Learning Hypothesis: acquisition and learning are two separate processes in mastering a second language.
- The Natural Order Hypothesis: Krashen believed there is a natural order of acquisition of English morphemes.
- The Monitor Hypothesis: This is an error detecting mechanism. This checks for accuracy and edits.
- The Input Hypothesis: Language is acquired through comprehensible input. This includes using a variety of techniques and modalities. It also includes visual and kinesthetic to make sure speech is understandable.
- The Affective Filter Hypothesis: This address emotional variables. This includes anxiety, motivation, and self- confidence. These emotions can block or facilitate input from reaching the language acquisition device (LAD).
