empollonの英語とか学習帳

このブログは僕の英語学習の内容や進捗、特に翻訳練習を記録するために始めました。ついでに、面白い人たちとの新たな出会いがあったら、なお嬉しいです。This will be to keep a record of my English practice progress. If I can get to know new interesting people through any interactions here, that’s also nice

モニター仮説というのがあるらしい(英語コメント)

I mostly believe the input hypothesis is true. Today, I got to know another hypothesis advocated by Krashen, which is the monitor hypothesis. Looking at it, I speculate that in many cases language learners might pursue accuracy in their target language because of this monitoring function achieved through learning, whether it consists of grammar or syntactic knowledge or experiences in that language. In some cases, they might be so attached to the accuracy pursuit that some kinds of emotional obstacles emerge and prevent them from practicing the language because they hate making any mistakes.
