•True education and real teaching involves far
more than imparting knowledge and skills
•The ultimate Objective of true education and real
teaching is helping students to develop
intellectual depth
•This kind of teaching is absent from Pakistani
classrooms and the basic reason for this
drawback is the non-implementation of SLA
•The author started with general discussion about
the purpose of teaching and then he shared his
opinion that this type of teaching is absent from
Pakistani classrooms. Why? Because SLA
theories are not implemented in Pakistani
classrooms. Is this the root cause of all the
deficiencies and infertility of our education
system?
•SLA theory is discussed because it is the best
model for teaching and learning a second
language
•It means that learners are also supposed to be
aware of SLA theories. Isn’t it enough that their
teacher knows it and implement it in the class
room? Or the teacher is suppose to teach SLA
theories to learners as well.
•Effectiveness of the Krashen’s five hypothesis
•Significance of the SLA theories and reasons for the
non-implementation in the EFL/ ESL classrooms.
•The author has forgotten title of his research paper
and forgot to include the phrase from the title : “in the
context of teaching English in Pakistani class rooms”
•A new topic jumps in which was not part of the main
title “significance of the SLA theories and reasons for
the non- implementation in the EFL/ ESL
classrooms”
•The study may help out teachers of Pakistan by
guiding them about proper implementation of the
SLA theories/ Krashen’s five hypothesis
•Really? The author has just given details about SLA
and Krashen’s five hypothesis and only applied
Krashen’s “The input Hypothesis” inexplicitly to
Pakistani classrooms
•The author has even not bothered to relate and
apply aspects of Krashen’s remaining four
•First paragraph: introduction and background
•Unnecessary and irrelevant to the main title of the
research paper
•Second paragraph: introduction and background of SLA
theory, Klien’s summary of facts about language
acquisition
•Unnecessary details to fill in the space and references list
•Third paragraph: Krashen’s view about SLA
•Reference for Krashen is taken from Schut 2005, Schut
has explained and quoted Krashen
•Fourth paragraph: Krashen’s five hypothesis
•“The Learner improves and progresses along the natural order when
he/ she receives second language input that is one step beyond his/
her current stage of language competence”. The author is unable to
elaborate Krashen’s Input Hypothesis. According to this hypothesis
the ideal input should have to be a mixture of learner’s current+
advance level
•Fifth paragraph: summarizes Krashen’s model
•Repeats the same line from Krashen’s Third Hypothesis (Natural
Order Hypothesis) : “In fact, he rejects grammatical sequencing when
the goal is language acquisition”
•Seventh paragraph:
• Public institutions: grammar translation method and mostly L1 is
used by teachers
•Private institutions: Teachers hardly use L1 in the class room
•After the detailed discussion about SLA theories and Krashen’s
model, the author has analyzed and detected the root cause of all the
drawbacks of our education system, That is, no proper
implementation of SLA theories
•The author has not completed his homework for this research paper
and the author lacks an insight and microscopic analysis of our
educational system. Most of the private institutions are Urdu medium
•The author has not applied Krashen’s model on Pakistani
Class rooms as he claimed in the title of his research
paper
•The author of the research paper was supposed to
present each of Krashen’s five hypothesis separately
under a proper heading, apply and compare it with
Pakistani classroom settings and then conclude and
suggest that whether this hypothesis is followed or not,
how it can be implemented and how can it help to enhance
the learning and teaching of English specifically in context
•You name the problem and Mr. Malik has got the answer : “Because
SLA theories and Krashen’s model are not properly implemented in
Pakistani class rooms”
•The last sentence of this research paper is more than enough to
counter and answer all the queries, objections and criticism on this
research paper:
•“it can be confidently claimed that true understanding of the SLA
theories and Krashen’s five hypothesis can bring significant changes
in the country”
•That is why Mr. Malik has directed all his attentions and utilized his
utmost intelligence in describing SLA theories and Krashen’s five
•Justifiable title for this “research paper”
can be:
“ an attempt to explain SLA theories and
Krashen’s model to Pakistanis so that they
may understand it and implement it in
