“The central hypothesis of the theory is that language acquisition occurs in only one way: by understanding messages.”
Stephen D. Krashen, The Natural Approach: Language Acquisition in the Classroom

“The widely documented failure of late starters to achieve native-like proficiency, even when motivation, cognitive abilities, and opportunities are optimal and plentiful, all agree, is one of the most salient facts about SLA. It is a weighty empirical problem, in Laudan's sense, crying out for a solution.”
Michael H. Long, Problems in Second Language Acquisition
