3. THEORIES

   • Behaviourist
     • Mimicry & memorization
       • Krashen's ideas about the innateness of linguistic knowledge in  SLA are broader than is usual for a nativist in the sense that he does not restrict himself to  syntactic principles. But his views are in agreement with the idea of many nativists that older learners have this ability at their disposal to the same degree as younger learners do. Krashen's (1981, 1982, 1985) model is based on five hypotheses, which I will summarize here:     
   • Innatist
     • Krashen's 'Monitor Model`
   • Cognitive
     • Information processing
     • Usage-based learning
     • The competition model
     • Language & the brain
     • Interacting, noticing, processing & practising
   • Sociocultural
     • Learning by talking
