Question

What is the learned system based on?

• A. Natural exposure and implicit acquisition
• B. Formal instruction and conscious learning
• C. Innate linguistic abilities and genetic predisposition
• D. Unconscious imitation and environmental immersion

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Formal instruction and conscious learning

• Krashen states that the learned system is developed through explicit teaching in a classroom.

• It is a conscious process where learners study grammar rules and language structure.

• Unlike acquisition, learning is more about knowing about the language, not using it fluently.

• This system is useful for monitoring and correcting language, but less effective for spontaneous communication.
