More on Krashen and grammar

Here is the podcast.

How much deliberate study of grammar, and word review, and output is necessary. Who knows? Do what you like. And making mistakes does not matter in most situations.

I refer in my talk today to a debate at How to learn any language., and a web site with an interesting perspective on the importance of language schools written by Amorey Gethin. This paper was first written in 1991. A lot has changed since then. For a view on how much has changed check out this video.

Thanks for the shout out, Steve! I have thoroughly enjoyed the debate that has evolved on the previous post (and it continues on yet!)

Some pretty interesting articles on that Amorey Gethin site, thanks. They really, really don't like dictionaries :)
