- - - - Acquisition-Learning Hypothesis - while learning a language, simply learning facts, verbs etc is not enough. Krashen says that in order to really acquire the language, it happens subconsciously as our brains store the new knowledge
      - Natural Order Hypothesis - we acquire parts of language in a predictable, or natural, order.
      - Monitor Hypothesis - We can review what we have learned, or subconsciously acquired, by running it though our conscious learning database to test for errors and inconsistencies
      - Input (Comprehension) Hypothesis - This is Krahen's most important hypothesis as it describes how language acquisition occurs. Here he argues that for the language to be learned, all input (new material) but be comprehensible, or understandable to the learner. Without this part, the language cannot be fully learned.
      - Affective Filter Hypothesis - This is the filter that controls how much of the input gets into the learners brain. Things such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, etc, make the filter block more input. When those items are removed, the filter is down and input may flow freely into the brain, allowing for acquisition.
