“Krashen(1985)supports the concepts of an affective filter and comprehensible input. According to Krashen, if the filter is set low enough and plenty of comprehensible input is available, there is no need to teach the language or its grammar as such.”

“Widdowson’s (1990) is a dissenting voice: “Grammatical knowledge does follow as a corollary of communication”(p.165)”

“As Swain (1988) concluded on the basis of data from French immersion studies, “Not all good content teaching is necessarily good language teaching” (p.68).”
