Krashen's Input and Monitor Model


The above is admittedly a very simple version, based on Stevick's illustration (1980, p. 270). Krashen by 1981 has a much more elaborated version (see especially p. 101) that takes into account the impact of learning on acquisition, though clearly he never strayed from the idea that input is primary to the process of SLA.
