%0 Journal Article %T Krashen¡¯s Five Proposals on Language Learning: Are They Valid in Libyan EFL Classes %A Ibrahim Abukhattala %J English Language Teaching %D 2013 %I %R 10.5539/elt.v6n1p128 %X The most remarkable theory which aims to offer an overall explanation for SLA is Krashen¡¯s Monitor Theory. As documented by the professional literature, although it has received a great deal of criticism, this theory has had a great influence on all aspect of second language research and teaching since the 1980s. Krashen¡¯s theory seems to be attractive to many language teachers all over the world. Based on my experience as an EFL teacher and researcher, I attempt to provide a critical analysis of the theory¡¯s five main hypotheses and the applicability of these proposals in foreign language contexts. %U http://www.ccsenet.org/journal/index.php/elt/article/view/23051
