Natural Approach

Kranshen proposed the Natural Approach theory in 1983. This theory is considered a failure even though in California it made a huge impact in the year 1981. It is a nice theory because everyone wants to learn a language the natural way, but it is proven that it doesn´t work as a system.

good contribution my friend, but it's important to say more about it.
you know that this theory is very important to know, because can help to us how we can learn a foreign language.
this theory is not based in the grammar is based in the communication. the natural approach is a good method that we can learn like our native language.
this theory proposed to learn the foreign languages whit easy inputs and images.
this theory make more enfasis in the communication no in the grammar.
this is a clear example that we learned a native languages, because our parents didn't use grammar books for teach to us to speak.
it's very important to know about this theory because it can help to us how we can teach a foreign languages.

it's good lupita
i read some principles of the natural approach to second languages. in that reading said that the students need to received a compressible input and is essential to understand for have a good communication.
other thing is "the language learning environment should be free of tension". that means to us if the students have tension they couldn't learn a second languages. the students will learn if they feel confidence or in a few words if their affective filter is down. it's necessary to be confidence when we learn a second languages.
we can learn a second languages in a natural way, because in this way we learned to speak Spanish.
