Language teachers and aficionados can now access Dr. Stephen Krashen’s latest articles and books for FREE!  His major contribution to the field of linguistics is recognizing that language learners will be more successful if they’re motivated to use it and enjoy the process of learning it.  In other words, he rejects the teaching language “academically” and espouses an approach that focuses on encouraging learners to learn the target language by reading books for pleasure and through interesting and engaging activities rather than focusing intently on what they are needing to learn.
