Criticisms

  1. It is difficult to accept the idea of a fully operational LAD in adults, since adults with regard to language acquisition, are well past the age of puberty (Gregg,1984 & McLaughlin,1987 )

    • LAD declines as you age Chomksky (1975
      • McLaughlin (1987, p.56): Krashen has not defined his terms with enough precision, the empirical basis of the theory is weak, and the theory is not clear in its predictions.
        • In McLaughlin's view to determine whether the process involved in language production resulted from implicit acquisition or explicit learning, is impossible to prove.
          • Second Language learning is a process in which varying degrees of learning and of acquisition can be both beneficial, depending upon the learner's own style and strategies (Gregg,1984)
