Meet the Author: Stephen Krashen

Professor Stephen Krashen, author and researcher in the fields of second-language acquisition and the importance of reading, will give a talk in the Calaway Community Room. This event is held in partnership with Our Children, Our Schools and Raising a Reader.

Professor Krashen has produced more than 500 publications, contributing to the fields of second-language acquisition, bilingual education, and reading. He is known for introducing various hypotheses related to second-language acquisition, including the acquisition-learning hypothesis, the input hypothesis, the monitor hypothesis, the affective filter, and the natural order hypothesis. He promotes the use of free voluntary reading during second-language acquisition, which he says "is the most powerful tool we have in language education, first and second."
