Background
Although the original concept of the
Natural Approach stemmed from Tracy
Terrell’s experiences teaching Spanish
classes, it was Stephen Krashen who has
made the Natural Approach internationally
famous as well as heatedly debated. To
begin with, Krashen states that distinction
should be made between learning and
acquisition in second language acquisition
(SLA), which is similar to Chomsky’s
distinction between linguistic competence
and linguistic performance.

Theory
The Natural Approach was based upon Krashen’s theories of
second language acquisition, and his Five Hypotheses..
(Vivian Cook)
Language Learning
The Natural Approach, with echoes of the
‘naturalistic’ approach of the Direct Method,
was developed by Krashen and Terrell (1983).
It emphasised “Comprehensible Input”,
distinguishing between ‘acquisition’ – a natural
subconscious process, and ‘learning’ – a
conscious process. They argued that learning
cannot lead to acquisition. The focus is on
meaning, not form (structure, grammar).
