According to Krashen one obstacle that manifests itself during language

acquisition is the so-called 'screen' that is influenced by

emotional variables that can prevent learning.  This hypothetical filter

does not impact acquisition directly but rather prevents input from reaching

the language acquisition part of the brain.  According to Krashen the

affective filter can be prompted by many different variables including anxiety,

self-confidence, motivation and stress.

True or False?

According to "extensive reading approach" students choose what they want to read based on their interests. If a student finds a book is too difficult or they don't enjoy it, they can change it for another one

According to Krashen, there are two ways of developing language ability. 

Acquisition involves the subconscious acceptance of knowledge where information

is stored in the brain through the use of communication; this is the process

used for developing native languages.  Learning, on the other hand, is the

conscious acceptance of knowledge ‘about’ a language (i.e. the grammar or

form). Krashen states that this is often the product of formal language

instruction.

This hypothesis suggests that language acquisition occurs when learners

receive messages that they can understand, a concept also known as

comprehensible input.  However, Krashen also suggests that this

comprehensible input should be one step beyond the learner’s current language

ability, represented as

 + 1, in order to allow learners to

continue to progress with their language development.

Extensive reading is 

a purposeful, task-based activity

through which students address
