Dr. Stephen Krashen on Language Acquisition

There's a lot of talk about comprehensible input and how language acquisition works. I came across this video and thought it was interesting to hear it directly from the researcher that pioneered the idea.

(On balance: I think he's a little too gung-ho in saying speaking practice and many other things are unhelpful. But that's just my speculation. It's an old video, even 15 years ago when uploaded, and may be outdated in ways. Also, sorry for the delightfully terrible VHS level video quality; but it's kind of appropriate I guess.)

Watching his little drawing while he speaks German is a good reminder of what good, beginner-level comprehensible input videos should look like. The comprehensible part is important!
