Option 4 : Teacher using Shakespeare's play for a read aloud lesson in the class.
A theory of second language acquisition, which has- had a very great influence on second language teaching practice, is the one proposed by Stephen Krashen (1 982).
- Krashen distinguishes between language acquisition and language learning and claims that 'acquisition' is all, an unconscious process of rule internalization in the informal context of one's environment, while 'learning' is consciously acquired and is the product of formal teaching.
Conducive classroom situations for language acquisition in grade 3, based on Krashen's hypothesis include:
- Provide real-life situations and contexts in which language should be used to produce real-life language output.
- Provide activity-based teaching according to the child's interests where students can choose their own topics for writing, in which they can use the language in controlled and uncontrolled contexts.
- For learners with problems, they should not be scolded for committing errors while speaking rather teacher should find out what their previous language-learning experience has been.
- Encourage interaction and peer discussion by providing speech activity; ensure 'conversation' goes on for some time; in this, learners are not only learning the language, they are also 'using' it.
- Consider the learners' personal interests and should your activities accordingly. Provide a classroom atmosphere in which the learners feel secure. Attempt to link the language; see the outside world wherever possible.
From the above points, we can conclude that 'Teacher using Shakespeare's play for a read aloud lesson in the class.' is NOT conducive for language acquisition in grade 3, based on Krashen's hypothesis.
