Albert Fernandez, an elementary and middle school Spanish teacher and blogger, brings us the latest installment of the Black Box podcast series. Mr. Fernandez unpacks a 2013 article by Stephen Krashen, “The Compelling (Not Just Interesting) Input Hypothesis.”

Learn some background about Dr. Krashen’s original hypotheses and then learn more in-depth about a refinement of those early ideas, the importance of compelling input, at https://senorfernie.wordpress.com/2015/07/01/all-they-need-is-accurate-input-right-wrong/

The Black Box is a collection of video podcasts and other media resources designed to address the great disconnect in world language teaching: the lack of effective communication between researchers investigating how people learn language and the teachers working to help those people develop communicative language skills.
