• D. Stephen Krashen

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Stephen Krashen

The Monitor Theory was put forward by Stephen Krashen.

Explanation: Stephen Krashen, a renowned linguist and educational researcher, developed the Monitor Theory as part of his broader theory of second language acquisition. The theory posits that there are two systems involved in language learning:

1. The Acquisition System: Unconscious learning of a language through natural communication.

2. The Learning System: Conscious learning of grammar and rules, which acts as a "monitor" to edit or correct language output.

Krashen's theory emphasizes the importance of acquisition over learning, arguing that language is best acquired through exposure and use in communicative contexts.
