When and How did the Natural Method start?

Yes, the Psycholinguistics try to explain the languages but it based in the psychology of human.
The psycholiguistics explain some problems in the human languages, and explain the process of the learning based in the brain function.
The psycholinguistics tell us how the speaker learn the native languages, how he understand the languages and possible problems in the learning of the languages.
For the psycholinguistics mentions her contributions, it is necessary that she knows the functions of the brain and how that functions have influence in the languages.

This time we have to talk about Natural Approach, I found a website which explains to us a lot of detalis.

This Appoach was developed by Tracy Terrell and Stephen Krashen in 1977, and it says the studens have to develop an hability to talk before writing or using correctly grammar, the students are taught to speak in an "unconscious way", they have a monitor (teacher) who corrects them, the grammar structures are taught in a different order, and a very important aspect is that students just speak when they are ready.

I can see this topic will give us a lot of information and many topics for discuss about.

take care!!!

never give up!

Hello man.
Chuy, I think there is something wrong with your contribution right here: You said that the "monitor" is the teacher, ready to correct students as they make errors (or even mistakes, I do not know); however, what I know about it is that the real "monitor" is in fact the own student's previous knowledge about the language. They use this knowledge, to "check" their language productions while they speak. So do not get confused boy.
Regards.

Oh! My source, if I not post it, the teacher is going to get mad.

Thank you very much Lalo for your comment, I am glad because you read what I wrote and your are right, I have just read the information again and I relized I was wrong. Thanx!!

hello everyone

like to mention the following:
the direct method is considered as a revolution on the world of teaching a second language that used real situations, the elimination of the mother language on the classroom and of course the oral and write expresion in all full capacity but what happen if the mother language is eliminated completely? out of the classroom in a country where the inglish is considered a foreign language this agood question.
the link is the following:

HELLO.

Today I talk about the natural approach I was reading about the monitor hypothesis and I think is the first step most important bacause is when the brain stores all the information but the most important is when we acquiring some grammar. We need to proccess very well the input. Nowadays, some psycholinguistics didn't know why students didn't learn very quickly the new language. I think is a long process but our brain is able to stores information.

today we are going to know the direct method and some disadvantages first we know that the natural method and the direct method is the same,the Direct Methods is also known as "Natural Method" the outcome of a reaction against the Grammar Translation Method.
But in this methods we know that it have a disadvantages for example, that applying the direct method we need to be with native all the time for better pronunciation and understanding of the subject and the input received is a native speaker, another problem is that no native in the school, only john but most are not in school jajaja

Talking about natural method as everybody know was given by Krashen and his theory, the question is when and how start this method? well Krashen suggest that language aqcuisition accous when the students receive some "input" this mean information, this theory pretends teaching like babys learning their first language this is listening and repeat, because is the better opcion to add some input into the brain.

Towards the end of the late 1800s, a revolution in language teaching philosophy took place that is seen by many as the dawn of modern foreign language teaching.The method became very popular during the first quarter of the 20th century, especially in private language schools in Europe where highly motivated students could study new languages and not need to travel far in order to try them out and apply them communicatively. One of the most famous advocates of the Direct Method was the German Charles Berlitz, whose schools and Berlitz Method are now world-renowned. It is true that direct method is criticized a lot, but there is no doubt its a good method.

the term natural emphasizes that the principles behind the natural approach are belived to conform to the naturalistic principles found in succesful seco aquisition. One may think thaht the natural aproach and the natural method are similar. the natural method or direct method and the approach differ in that the former lays more emphasis on teahcer monologues, formal question and answers, and error correction. Krashen and the natural approach is in many ways the natural, direct method rediscovered it is similar toother communicative approaches being today. At the risk of oversimplifying, it was a reaction against the Grammar Translation method, and for that reason didn't focus on grammar and disallowed the first language.

Hi sis...jejeje.....
Well, to answer the question "When and how did the Natural method start?, I'm going to tell you that it started since the Roman civilisation, when teenagers wanted to learn a L2, in this case Greek, and with the normands' children who travelled to France to learn French being wth the native speakers.
Now, talking about the Input, Krashen, onto his Monitor Model Theory, he explains that a comprehensible input should be provide and shoul be not grammatically sequenced. People acquire language best by understanding input that is a little above their present level of
competence. This is his "Input Hypothesis".

Ref: http://www2.vobs.at/ludescher/pdf%20files/Natural%20Approachppp.pdf

Direct Method is used in many language institutions to teach their students the new language in the most natural way. They focus on making the students develop their speaking and then they introduce them in writing and reading. So these institutions use real-word conversations and scenarios. This really help the students to improve their learning and make them acquire the language and use it in the everyday situations.

These language institutions had make a deep research in the field of linguistics to success in the language teaching because it is a good business to them to be successful teaching a language.
