Described by Earl Stevick as '...potentially the most fruitful concept for language teachers that has come out of the linguistic sciences during my working lifetime...', Krashen's Monitor Theory provided a unique insight into the processes at work in language studies, gaining the Modern Languages Association's Kenneth B. Mildenburger award for the greatest contribution to second language education for that year; IN 1982, Krashen's second volume, Principles and Practice in Second Language Acquisition, presented for the first time an empirically grounded and coherent theory of second language acquisition drawn from the research and experimentation set out in the author's earlier work. This volume has added a further dimension to the debate and has, in its turn, been described by Karl J. Krahnke (TESOL Quarterly, Vol. 17, 2, 1983) as... 'probably the single most important book to be published in the field of language teaching since... 1945...'; In his third book, Stephen Krashen has combined with Tracy Terrell, whose prodigious teaching skill and energy has enthralled gatherings of teachers in Europe and USA, to derive from that empirically grounded theory, a new approach to the teaching of second and foreign languages. Responding to the challenge to translate theory into practice, the two authors have followed through the findings of the researchers to produce an essentially classroom based, practical formulation of a teaching method that is relatively simple to use, easily adapted to a variety of situations and capable of efficient modification for different types of learners, with varied cognitive styles."
