Nice informative interviews, it's hard to believe emeritus professor is speaking, the language is quite simple and clear.

Facebook has enabled me to learn a language. I now only use it to chat to my friends. I am 68.

According to the way he describes his graduate school learning interesting, compelling material along with comprehensible input seems to apply to learning in general, not just language acquisition.

[@Williamottelucas]

No comment! Really? People must be speechless, I guess.

[@gina933]

This information is compelling

0:42 I am not teaching grammar anymore ... starting tomorrow :))

[@TheHaining]

Might be entertaining but he has clearly never taught a language himself. It is just so obvious that reading helps you acquire a language but that is not something you need to do in class, nor is it something you can assume everyone has time for or wants to do. Grammar helps you become more accurate more quickly and there are other teaching methods that focus on what a student might need. What good is learning all the vocabulary in Harry Potter going to do when someone's trying to understand or speak English on holiday? I just don't get the adulation for this totally self-absorbed guy.

Informartive

Wow

I like Krashen, but I don't believe his take on internet reading. It's nine years later, and if online reading was beneficial then reading scores would be going up, but they're not. Nothing is going to replace the reading of actual books.

[@Asdayasman]

I want to kiss this guy on the lips.

[@andyharpist2938]

I get the feeling that this is all an advert for his book or a subscription to his lessons.

[@andyharpist2938]

@Kenura Medagedara He's certainly unusual as a person. Maybe my gut feeling is wrong. But I dont subscribe to those who say its all easy as pie if you do it this way or that...and after the stories are over I wasnt really sure what method he really was actually advocating. But he has many good points about class teaching being pretty much impossible, but there again, thats what teachers are faced with.

[@alisiagill3707]

He was giving all his papers on the topic away for free on his website. Can’t remember the IRL. I don’t think he’s offering lessons. He just really cares about this stuff. He’s been researching this for decades.
