Krashen claimed that learning can't turn into acquisition. Krashen also claimed that only acquired language can allow someone to communicate fluently and naturally.

Language learners acquire language rules in a predictable order.

The Input Hypothesis hypothesizes that the causative variable in language acquisition is comprehensible input.

Krashen's theories promote an emphasis on communication, a silent period for students, and a low-anxiety atmosphere.

Behaviorism is a learning theory that focuses on elements of learning: reinforcement, response, and stimulus.
Children also acquire language through reinforcement, response, and stimulus.
Association and imitation are important in language acquisition.

Suzanne E. Peregoy and Owen F. Boyle describe the mind of a child, "Behaviorists assumed that the
child’s mind was a tabula rasa, a blank slate awaiting the scripture of experience" (Peregoy and Boyle 60).

The Innatist theory theorizes that language comes from a biological language acquisition system or device.
This theory also theorizes that children construct grammar through hypothesis testing.
It should also be noted that according to this theory, that caregivers and parents don't have much impact on helping children acquire grammar rules.

Suzanne E. Peregoy and Owen F. Boyle explain, "Thus, children create sentences by using
rules rather than by merely repeating messages they have heard, as assumed
by behaviorists" (Peregoy and Boyle 61).

The Behaviorist theory brought about a language teaching method called the audio lingual method. Within this method, students memorize video dialogue. They also will practice verb forms and sentence structures.

Suzanne E. Peregoy and Owen F. Boyle explain the behaviorist perspective, "For behaviorists, the processes involved in second or foreign language learning consisted of imitation, repetition, and reinforcement of grammatical structures" (Peregoy and Boyle 65).

The Innatist Perspective helped bring about the creative construction theory. Creative construction is when a second language learner creatively constructs the rules of a new language.

Suzanne E. Peregoy and Owen F. Boyle share an intersting fact, "Dulay and Burt therefore concluded that second language
acquisition is similar, though not identical, to first language acquisition" (Peregoy and Boyle 66).
