Talk:Stephen Krashen

message: I was shocked at how light this article is for one of the greats in his discipline.  Why is this not a stub? 72.192.125.5 (talk) 16:11, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

message: I changed "silly" back to "important".  "Silly" is really not a neutral term and involves a judgement call.  We could add that Krashen is heavily criticized for his views, or that he is thought of as simplistic, but lets not call him silly.
I also added information on the difference between "learning" and "acquisition".  I'm not an expert in this area, but i felt it was important to get this down and hopefully we can clean it up a bit in the future.

message: I seem to recall learning his theory as "n + 1" rather than "i + 1". Anyone else? Stevage 12:24, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Ultimately, the choice of letter is rather arbitrary.  I think I've heard it most commonly as "L + 1," i.e. "level plus one," which actually seems to make a bit more sense than "i + 1."  However, "i" is the letter used by Krashen in his 1982 book, and presumably elsewhere.  -- Visviva 16:17, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: If it's in his book, that sounds pretty definitive. Also, anyone know if the term "Krashen bashin'" has achieved enough currency to rate a mention? Stevage 07:37, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Surprisingly few Google hits for that; I'd have to say no, unless there are some offline reliable sources that use or discuss the term.  -- Visviva 07:47, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Any way we could scale down or crop that picture? It's awfully large.

thread_title: Picture

message: This character really is not notable. What has he done? What third party gives an credence to his activity? — Chris53516 (Talk) 05:47, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, why would you call him a character? According to a quick search of mine including journals he would be notable enough. I've just added his publication list, but it might need someone more familiar with the subject matter to expand and source the article. --Tikiwont 15:10, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

text: "Character" was used because I don't know if he's real, and the picture has not source information, so it could be just made up. Just because someone has published stuff or because they appear many times in a search engine doesn't make them notable. See the notability guidelines. — Chris53516 (Talk) 23:07, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: He was inducted into the International Reading Association's Reading Hall of Fame. That's a well-established and respected organization within the field. If he satisfies their criteria for inclusion in the RHoF, he is a notable academic by Wikipedia standards.  Jlwelsh 01:36, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Dr. Krashen is the preeminent scholar in the field of language acquisition. His works are seminal to the field; his research has been published extensively in leading journals.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.101.238.8 (talk) 19:33, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

message: I had come here to learn about him -- but there's hardly anything on him here on Wikipedia. What a disappointment.    Oh well, off I go then to YOUTUBE.COM  because there's nothing much about him on here on Wikipedia  i.e. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NiTsduRreug 90.174.2.85 (talk) 11:36, 11 December 2016 (UTC)
