CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -“i+1” (Input Hypothesis) was originally a theory of learning developed by the linguist Stephen Krashen in the 1970s. It basically says that learning is most effective when you meet the learners’ current level and add one level of difficulty, like the next rung on a ladder.

Detailed explanation-2: -Krashen called this “i + 1” where “i” is a person’s current language level and “+1” represents language that is slightly more advanced than their current level. The Acquisition–Learning hypothesis states that acquisition of language is different to learning language.

Detailed explanation-3: -The core parts of Krashen’s Monitor Model are composed of five interrelated hypotheses: the acquisition-Learning Hypothesis, the Monitor Hypothesis, the Natural Order Hypothesis, the Input Hypothesis and the Affective Filter Hypothesis, which we will look at in detail.

Detailed explanation-4: -Krashen is most widely known for his “comprehensible input” hypothesis, which suggests that learners acquire language by taking in and understanding language that is “just beyond” their current level of competence.
