Krashen argues that there is a difference between acquiring and learning a second language. "Krashen claims (1) that learning cannot turn into acquisition and (2) that it is only acquired language that is available for natural, fluent communication." (Peregoy, Boyle, pg. 66)

Krashen suggest that studying a language leads the student to develop an internal grammar editor. "As the student produces sentences, the monitor "watches" the output to ensure correct usage." (Peregoy, Boyle, pg. 66)

Krashen proposes language rules are acquired in a "predictable" sequence, rather than learned.

This hypothesis suggests, the "second language acquisition is the direct result of learners' understanding the target language in natural communication situations." (Peregoy, Boyle, pg. 67

This hypothesis suggest that in order for students to effectively obtain a second language, students must be placed in a low-anxiety learning environment, and be motivated to learn.

Children learn their first language involves three stages, stimulus, response, and reinforcement.

"For example, to learn the word ball, the child would first associate the word ball with the familiar spherical object, the stimulus. Next, the child would produce the word by imitation, at which time an adult would praise the child for saying ball, thereby reinforcing the child's correct verbal response." (Peregoy, Boyle, pg. 61)

Behaviorist Theory of Second Language Acquisition

Claims that babies are born with a "grammar template" which will let them select the grammatical rules of language they hear.

"Infants must come into the world "prewired for linguistic analysis" (Peregoy, Boyle, pg. 61)

This theory suggest that caregivers have a significant role in teaching a child language.

"The Interactionist view thus takes into consideration the importance of both nature and nurture in the language acquisition process." (Peregoy, Boyle, pg. 62)

This second language acquisition theory suggest that the natural order of learning should be: first, taught to speak and listen, then they are taught to read and write.

"One behaviorist language teaching method popularized in the 1960s is the audiolingual method, in which tape-recorded dialogues are presented for students to memorize, followed by pattern drills for practicing verb forms and sentence structures." (Peregoy, Boyle, pg. 65

A large-scale study was used to test this theory. The conducted study involved Spanish-speaking and Chinese-speaking children learning English in school. The use of colorful pictures and specific questions, which were then examined to tell if the errors were influenced by the first language.

"One such theory put forth to account for second language development was the creative construction theory" (Peregoy, Boyle, pg. 65)
