📌 The Natural Sequence of Language Learning Respecting the silent period is essential for effective second-language acquisition. Dr. Krashen’s research highlights: Productive skills (speaking, writing) develop from receptive skills (listening, reading). Children and adults need time in the silent period to process and internalize a new language. 🎯 Why It Matters: Rushing language learners to produce output creates stress and impedes progress. A patient, skill-based approach aligns with natural language development. 📚 Learn how this understanding can transform language education. #LanguageLearning #Education #SilentPeriod

TBLT is subject to learner-external as well as learner-internal factors, with the former referring to task- and context-related factors, and the latter to ID factors pertaining
